That husband and wife team are only focused on the no kill pound issue. I see him lasting only term. Getting rid of One Sumter might be bad for the average TV taxpayer , besides the developer.

I like the way this place is run now and we all need to be very aware of the attempts to change things. If it ain't broke. DON'T fix it.
I have a friend that left Celebration because of the way that it was being run changed. He now lives in The Villages.

Is M the guy whose biggest priority seems to be no kill animal shelters?

Facebook representation amounts to a little less than 1/3 of the population.
A place for self and friends showing off and gratification!!

That's his wifes biggest priority. Revenge against the developer is a close second, imo.

I don't see the other two commissioners waging a war on FaceBook. Maybe they're too smart.
This EMS has been from the beginning.
BTW, why not use names?

Plenty of politics in corporations and lots of back stabbing to get the corner office with a view. Just look at Boeing and the Max and the massive auto industry bailout.

The no kill shelter was approved 4 to 1 and a credit to those who fought for it.

Their focus (the Miller's) seems to be One Sumter, a no-kill shelter and sticking it to The Developer.

As a Villager, I don't see the benefit of repealing One Sumter. Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like repealing One Sumter would potentially give more power to non-Villages portions of Sumter County (depending on if The Villages Sumter would get 3 commissioners or 2).

Another person stated that "Facebook... is a place for self and friends showing off and gratification." I agree. I've noticed that the vast majority of posters in the Oren Miller Sumter County Facebook page are from Southern Sumter County. Those posters are asking for a lot - new roads, a square with entertainment like The Villages, schools like The Villages Charter Schools, a new playground, a pool for kids, etc.
