I'm not so sure sure the Developer supports DW as much as being against OM's obtuse anti-business views.

But DW has more intelligence and understanding of how the complexities of local governacance and business works.

OM who is a probably very nice person, is not so bright, never had clue how things work in the real world.

He was incompetent in his role and couldn't even comprehend the sunshine laws much less understand that at the end of the day, the tax prayers pay no matter how you split the check..

What happens to him was extream overkill and makes me sad but I don't think he has learned his lesson.

Yup.

The one thing I worry about with Don is he is backed by the developer. Will see how independent he will be.

Don is he is one of the few people I've ever met who is truly as smart as he thinks he is :-)

From a distance, I came to a similar conclusion.



Some might disagree.

I'll be voting to restore Don Wiley to the commission. He knows how business works and his values align with most of our values. Miller was elected after a drastic property tax increase, promising to roll back the increase by punishing local businesses and future property buyers in Sumter County. Miller and his wife have a not so secret agenda to have a gold-plated animal shelter built.

Wiley needs to go back to his drones, mistakes and pretend to know it all condescending attitude. Miller will do just fine. Besides the puppy mill Wiley runs, is already enough of a work load.

The OM campaign is encouraging independent and registered democrats to register republican to vote, and then switch back. Guess he sees a lot of backers in that group.

He was acquitted of the sham perjury charge.

Yes he was. Seems like a nice guy. Don’t vote for him because you feel sorry for him. Vote for the candidate that will do the best for Sumter county residents. My opinion is - Oren didn’t know how to navigate the “politics.” He had an all or nothing stance. And that didn’t help the Sumter Co residents.

Shame
 

It was a shame what was done to this man. It was all done so the Villages wouldn’t have to pay impact fees. I hope he spearheads an effort to double the impact fee. The family has robbed villagers long enough.

I wouldn’t vote for someone who was backed by the developer. We know whose interests those candidates back. Hint, it isn’t the people’s.

Isn’t this Thread political and against TOTV rules?

I switched parties last night, so I'm able to vote in the primary. Just like last time, the developer is up to his old tricks.

None of my business, but be careful.

Some people that I would consider "public figures" are protected by TOTV and immune from public criticism.

Draconian punishment is sometimes administered, when protocol is not observed.

A few months ago there was a thread about Or.

At that time, I learned LOCAL offices are okay.

Have Fun!!
