What is not clear is what "in part" means. 10%? 25%? 50%? 99.9%? But yes..Sumter County Tax funds are going to pay for entertainment at both LSL & Brownwood, which I think is a TERRIBLE use of Sumter's tax dollars, and I can guarantee that there are PLENTY of people in Bushnell, Wildwood, Lake Panasoffkee and other places in Sumter who don't think much of it at all!

What do the people from Bushnell, Wildwood, Lake Panasoffkee and other places in Sumter that
come and enjoy the squares think of the use of tourism dollars being used?
I think this is becoming a big deal over nothing...................
