Never did they ask the tough question the real questions, the important questions that deal with property taxes, fees, school taxes, etc . It was all fluff.

So who represents us or is the go between The Villages and the county we live in? Who speaks for us? Who challenges county budgets? In my view village residents are far removed from this aspect and hence the county commissioners school board, etc are free to do what they please
What does the developer or district government have to do with property taxes, fees, school taxes, etc . That would be a part of a county government survey.
We vote for county commissioners. If you have a problem with what they are doing, why not call them. Why would we need a "go between"? I really don't understand your rant.
