The CDD form of government is unique to Florida. There are almost 600 other CDD's, but none nearly as successful.


I sense a movement to try to change this place and frankly I am terrified.


The IRS is challenging the MUNICIPAL bonds being tax exempt. Please remember that. If that was a slam dunk, the points would be on the scoreboard.
