I think that the tax dollars are paid to the Villages entertainment department. It is used along with money from merchants around the squares and I believe some other money. The entertainment department decides who will play and how much they will be paid. I think that the amount of money that goes to the entertainment dept is known but I don't know if taxpayers have a right to know the details of the individual contracts.
