To whom did you address that question? and exactly what question(s) did you pose? You said CDD taxes. If multi-modal pathways are public then taxes should have to be applied evenly throughout Sumter, Lake and Marion counties. This response seems incongruent and does not fit with villagers understanding of the nature of The Villages because it defines The Villages as a sort of hybrid which may not sit well with some residents.
I will await your reply
