As to Sumter One I get concerned that 5 county commissioners being so close aligned with TV. It is always prudent and good business that there never be even" the appearance of impropriety and or a conflict of interest"
As to the multi modal cart paths I do not know if theACC attempted to have the Developer re-do them on his dime because in my view they were improperly designed (width) and the Developer should have at minimum thrown in some of his own money
Nothing goes quickly with the government except taxpayers monies so I am not surprised by the lengthy IRS battle and I don't see it as a sign that either side has lost or won
I also love a good discussion but unfortunately the climate of our time makes the impossible because there are far too many overseers who shut down any worthwhile debate. I long for the days of Bill Buckley debates where extreme opinions met fought and then celebrated in friendships forged owing to mutual respect.
Personal Best Regards

My background is Civil Engineering and I always have an interest in all types of construction. I did some personal checking of the failing multi modal paths at various locations. The concrete was at times only a 3 inch thickness and at times less. The plan required a depth of at least 4 inches. This is a 25% loss in strength, a serious loss for sure. While I was working, every aspect of the construction was inspected so as to be in accordance with specifications. As far as I can determine, no construction inspector is normally on hand to insure the contractor is doing exactly what he is paid to do. Most contractors will cut every corner possible if it puts money in his pockets.
