You are right. I should have said "other residents". I was trying to keep my post short and simple by drawing a distinction.

The point is that the Developer benefits by having his Commissioners keep his sweetheart impact fee low and offloading what should be his infrastructure costs on to the rest of us. If you would like a further explanation, check the last POA Bulletin, which is available on line. Please take an objective look at what is going on here.

I don’t read the poa.

Perhaps you should if you want to understand what is going on around you.

Isn’t it better to perform your own investigated, objective views from the facts than those from a biased report? Should I read the Daily Sun and develop all my viewpoints from it?

To give you a straight answer: Of course you don't want to only rely on the Daily Sun. The Daily Sun, as well as the local TV and radio stations, are owned by the Developer. In addition, the VHA is little more than a front for the Developer and a farm team from which he recruits his politicians. Thus, it is really hard to get local facts from which you can “develop” your viewpoints.

In the Daily Sun, you will not find any news that reflects unfavorably upon the Developer, his local politicians, or The Villages itself. Such news is either spun or not reported at all. Therefore, in developing your viewpoints regarding local issues, I would suggest that, in addition to reading the Daily Sun, you also read the on-line newspaper and the POA Bulletin.
