I learned from an early age, that wherever there are huge sums of money involved, there is huge potential for financial misuse. Apparently the IRS thinks that is the case with the whole bond situation. Frankly I'm glad Ritchie has done her exposé and maybe in the long run we will be thanking her.
Ritchie told the truth> The Developer (VLSI) dominated the negotiations on the sell of the amenities nd told the District what they were going to pay him using his appriasers. so it does cause me some concern that VLSI is walking away profit free

People ouht to ask themselves why is it that after all thes years VLSI still has control of the VCCDD and how long willhe hang on to both VCCDD and SLCCD? VLSI appoints a number of county commissioners and one who was a previous president of villages Homeowner Assoc and utilized Sumter One to keep captive these five commissioners. Most people here don't care as long as they can golf and go out to eat But the chickens will someday come home to roost
