Why is a lawsuit filed in the county court not open to public information?
The Amenities lawsuit was valid and the only criticism I have for that lawsuit is that it was settled too quickly by taking the first offer. And because it was a class action suit members of the class should have been given an opportunity to voice their opinion.
The IRS Inquiry that followed this lawsuit made some serious allegations concerning the 2003 bond purchase against Villages Lake-Sumter, Inc, The District and the Board members having voting rights. These allegations have not been proven true and I make no claim that they are true.
It appears that District Five and the three plaintiffs feel strongly enough about irregularities here that they felt compelled to file a lawsuit. It is common practice for defendant to denigrate such actions as frivolous.
Residents need to stay very aware of this issue and demand transparency concerning the 2003 lawsuit, the IRS Inquiry and the March 2014 lawsuit. We deserve no less as this is an issue of good faith and ethical handling by Villages Lake-Sumter, The District, the VHA, the POA, the county commissioners who oversee the administration of Sumter county and the Judges we elected to serve our interests and local state representatives
