However, I want to point out that the first class-action lawsuit documents are a matter of public record. There have been frequent posts in this forum by members alleging that they have been sealed. This is simply not true. There is a link to information at poa4us.org. Villagers are not informed about it for two reasons: First, most are not particularly interested. Second, the Daily Sun has under-reported the story and the articles that have appeared have given the Developer's spin.

As to your concern about whether the $43 million settlement was enough to compensate Villagers for the damages they incurred from the Developer's actions, only time will tell. But so far, things seem to be working out okay. The one thing that is clear is that an additional $43 million, that without the first class-action lawsuit would have been in the Developer's pocket, is now available for amenities. We owe the plaintiffs a vote of thanks for that.

Likewise, information on the current class-action lawsuit is a matter of public record: https://www2.myfloridacounty.com/ccm...722f197914ea10
But to actually see the documents, it apparently is necessary to go to the court house since we are not going to get any real information from the Daily Sun. I am certain that somebody will bring this new lawsuit up at the POA meeting tomorrow night, and, hopefully, we will get some enlightenment there. Maybe we can ask the POA to publish a copy of the complaint and answer on its website, since few of us are inclined to make a trip to the courthouse to see them.

All I see is that the developer doesn't seem to have to have his feet held to the fire to keep things painted, in good repair and to improve things around here. I see no evidence of skimping on the things that he builds and outfits such as the rec centers and the magnificent large trees planted down by Brownwood. I cannot get it through my head that he had to be sued to make him do anything .
