Sumpter County Will Get Its Turn
 
Those of us in Sumter County should not slip into too much comfort. When the build out is complete in Sumter County
village residents will have reached the max in Revenue. However costs will continually rise and with those increases demand by politicians for more revenue. And we all know too well once politicians reach for more income they never stop because they have within their power a pot of gold also known as taxpayers.

Its why we all should be very wary of future proposals and villagers who make demands for amenities that amount to "want"but fail the litmus test of "need". Politicians are devious creatures.

Personal Best Regards:

Come on folks, it's taxes that keep the big improvements we all love coming. More taxes and less complaining is what we need.

Sounds unconstitutional to me. When voting for city wide positions, every vote counts - no limitations.

The price of freedom from overreaching politicians is eternal vigilance! Yes taxes provide certain benefits to all but they also provide a pot of money that may be better used by the taxpayers who provide it than the politicians who covet it.
