I can tell you that my questioning of the Amenities Lawsuit is done with knowledge of the nature lawsuit. If the Villages of Lake-Sumter, Inc first offered $43 million there was more to be had and a more experienced negotiator would have counter demanded. Enough said.
What has me baffled is where are the irate residents who marched to have the developer "tear down that wall "but remain silent concerning these legal disputes why are they not out with their protest signs, chants and talking to the local papers?

IMO, residents are not out protesting because these lawsuits seem like such complicated issues, and purposely so. It is easy to understand a wall, but when one starts talking about bonds, many eyes glaze over.
I, for one, am outraged that our amenity fees are being used to protect the developer's bottom line. Ms Tutt is supposed to report monthly on the amount of money being paid to the attorney. I haven't seen a report for almost a year. Where is it written that this practice is allowed?
This is almost the perfect storm, where the victims get to pay the ransom.
