I don't see anything broke around here.

I do see a lot of people not happy with successful big business.
I think that you are missing the point.

I don't think anybody (at least not me) is saying that the present lifestyle in The Villages is broken. There is concern that it may break if the VCCDD is unsuccessful in defending the actions of itself and the Developer in utilizing tax-exempt bonds to develop the Villages.

In the meantime, it is ironic when one thinks of the millions of dollars that the Developer gives to conservative causes and candidates while taking tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars in corporate welfare via the utilization of taxpayer-subsidized tax-exempt bonds.
