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
for once we agree !! The villages health care portion was more of a sales ad than anything. Or how about the vccdd system of government we must live by ?? Why will we never be allowed to elect the board that sits on the vccdd. The villages residents have no children yet they pay more than 80% of the county school taxes.
