We need to remember that there are other residents and businesses in each county than just Villages residents and businesses, and we need to ensure that they prosper as well.
Has nothing to with Marion county.

I don't think Wiley posted this and he's not reading the talk of the villages to look at your response.

I seriously doubt that Don needed you to explain that to him.

I strongly disagree with the POA not endorsing Don Wiley for Dist. 5 Commissioner.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Lake Miona walking trail that is being built. Curious as to the basis of your doubts, are they based on what you've read in the on-line news (news is a very loose term for that website), or is it based on a knowledgeable understanding of the dual roles of the PWAC and the differences in their functions and responsibilities related to the Project Wide Agreement and the amenities management as well as the difference in representation held by the PWAC members in the execution of both roles?

If your doubts are based on the former, then you're being misled by a source with a bias against most anything dealing with this community and that will twist or omit facts in order to drive up clicks on their website and increase their profits. If your doubts are based on the latter, I would be glad to meet with you and discuss the matter one-on-one to clear up the misinterpretations you seem to be having of the roles, responsibilities, and accountability of the PWAC and why the majority of the PWAC agreed to move forward with this much requested project.

There are several quotes attributed to you about that trail. Are they false?

“It’s starting to sound like The Big Dig in Boston, where it just keeps going and going and going,” said PWAC Chairman Don Wiley.
PWAC Chairman Don Wiley pointed out the rising cost of the project has raised eyebrows and he unveiled a new nickname for the path, which would be only seven-tenths of a mile long. Wiley called it the “million dollar mile.”

I know that the source is slanted, but if they are making up quotes can't legal action be taken against them ?
