They did it behind the scenes, not looking for praise or credit, just being the exceptional caring and generous family that they have showed time & time again that they are. Quite frankly tired of the "family bashers"... I am so very GRATEFUL to the Morse family for creating this incredible place we now call home and for all the things they do and create to make this time in our lives, the best time of our life!

If indeed the Morse Family is helping with the landlords with rent so they can help their workers then they should just come out and state that they are helping. This would stop the negativity. If the workers who drive from as far as Ocala and Orlando every day find a new job or move away, fifty percent of the restaurants will close!

Back in my department head days, I would give the folks who worked in the department a hand-shake, pat on the back, or a sincere “thank you”. I didn’t need to go around broadcasting my actions. That made it look like it was all about me. Maybe that is what the are Morse’s doing...helping the merchants without the need to broadcast it.

I agree with most of what has been said in the replies IF it pertained to the average person, or maybe even the average millionaire. But I think the Multi-Billionaires of the world have a more public responsibility. They each have the financial wealth of a small country. That wealth represents resources so far beyond what any of them will ever need that how they are putting it to use is of public interest and should be openly shared at all times, not just during states of emergency or crisis. That said, you may now proceed to trash me.

I don't know why people think the developer owes residents, or businesses anything at all. They created the community, they attract merchants who are interested in serving the community, and the rest should be up to the residents and those running the CDDs. I think the Morse family has done enough already for us all...

Yes the Morse family takes a percentage of the business from What I have heard. Is it a shame down or do they now owe the business help
