It is one thing to support the Developer regardless of his/her actions. It is another to claim the $40M awarded was somehow a miscarriage of justice of the courts. The courts heard all of the evidence and ruled. To say I don't have the "Court Facts" regarding the suit but challenge the results is really a show of such bias as to defy any logic. Regarding Ms. Tutt. Whether of not she does a good job is not the question. The question is it is right to allow the Developer to appoint a person who rules everything for the Villages. Of course she can and does effect the actions of the CDD's as she has great power over them plus the influence. If you read the law governing the Condo management you will see a signifiant difference, (Fl Law 718). In that case the Developer MUST turn the operations/government of the Condo over to an independent board and cannot have ANY influence over the Condo. A majority of the residents under the influence of the Developer really have no idea regarding what is done to foster his influence and revenue. How many actually know the difference between "Project Wide" and the "Ammenity Rules". How many actually know the alleged 'abuse of these two at the disadvantage of the residents and the advantage to the Developer? All of this is not a judgement on the performance of Janet Tutt but rather openings for abuses
and the lack of control of the residents.
