Its all about timing and the manner in which business is transacted. Keep in mind that we are separated as CDD's but that controlling are the VCCDD and SLCCD much of what the Developer controls and has the assistance of 5 county commissioners under the heading Sumter One. It may be a good thing or it may be a bad thing or it may just be? You choose

To me its all about expectations and those expectations were derived from a resident's understanding of what he/she bought into. Did you believe you were buying into a retirement community or a vacation destination? Did you believe that this was a gated community? Did you believe that the town squares and champions course were mainly for residents and family? Did you understand that although they call this a town it is not a town because it is simply comprised of villages? Did you approach buying into this development with rose colored glasses (ie. Disneyworld for Adults)?etc. etc. etc . I do not find fault here but lay the base for why such things as Janet Tutt's position and performance may mean different things to different people. And I wish her well and have always thrown my support behind her

Spot on.
