The charge against the POA concerning its negativity and dislike for the Developer is absolutely incorrect.
Contrary to what most people know the POA has made every attempt to work with both the Developer and the VHA. In fact at one point they wanted to merge the POA and VHA organizations together but were snubbed.
Why did it not occur? It did not occur because the VHA gets funding from the Developer. The VHA essentially serves as a PR firm for him. He began the VHA in an attempt to eliminate the POA. Why? Because the POA takes him to task on responsibilities he ignores ergo the amenities Lawsuit (circa 2008). Ask yourself why is it the VHA's "Voice" is delivered with your Daily Sun but the POA is not?
Some villagers reaction to the POA's efforts remind me of the Gary Cooper character in High Noon. The towns people hire him to protect them and when he does they turn on him because he did what they asked of him.
I do not always agree with the POA but I am convinced that they are the only organization here which truly is on guard for residents.
I encourage you and others to reconsider your position on the POA
One more thing. A repeating theme on this blog seems to be that criticism of the Developer equates to hate, jealousy or bias. This in my view is in most situations factually incorrect because it is about the way the Developer (Villages Lake Sumter Inc.) does business
If a resident complains about a bank, an insurance company a restaurant, a contractor is it hate jealousy or bias? Hardly.
Personal Best Regards:
PS I forgot to mention that the POA have elections every year for every position in their organization

You KNOW I respect your opinions Rubicon. I am glad to hear that elections are held frequently. It seemed to me that Joe someone was the president for a long time and now Elaine Driedame is now and was before Joe? There is a BETTER way to state criticism and write about difficulties and there are things that are important and threaten the quality of our life and our investment here and things that are just petty and not deserving of printer's ink.
I certainly am NOT the best person to judge. I only have my own views.
They could start improving by having someone else write the paper in MY opinion. Which is worth absolutely nothing. Except to Sweetie and Helene and Pooh and CFrance. I cannot change Redwitch's mind on anything but I still love her.
I will look up what Egalitarian means.
I think the developer should be criticized when he and his family, heirs and assigns do something wrong. It certainly doesn't happen very often in my view. AND if someone doesn't stop saying I am paid or rewarded by him, I am going to find the lawyers that the POA used and consult with them. I am just kidding. I don't sue people.
I will reconsider my views on the POA because you asked, Rubicon and because I respect you.
