Thus the POd people threw out the 3 of them up for reelection last November. Now the Developer wants to take local issues away from the oversight of local people and vest it in the hands of the state of FL where they have more control. If their Bill's are passed they would go into effect July 1. This is not a good thing and our Commissioners need to be proactive before then. The Republicans don't like big government interference...until they do!

In this case the big gov't interference started with the new bills that are taking away power from the locals and giving it to big gov't (the State) so the problem IS the big gov't - transferring power from local to State! This issue is consistent with conservatives not liking big government.

If Desantis is a proponent of this bill, whether it passes or not, why would you continue to support him?

Because growth is what has kept your taxes so low.

Anyone who does not like growth is living in the wrong area.

It's the ideal time to ram through any legislation, rules, raises, and changes that may not be in the best interest of the residents of the community.... Covid has not disappeared and will keep many in this age group away; does anyone think "they" don't know this ? It's like when you want to change something, tear down a building, or put up a permanent wall or block something off, when do you do this ? Well of course you start it about 2 to 3 a.m. when most are fast asleep, less to deal with. Same with virus, best time to hold "public" meetings of any kind, low attendance assured. Sign of the times.

Then, without doing said due diligence, they decided they must "stick it" to tv by going ahead with their tax increase on june 30th. There have been plenty of discussions in other threads about the false premise these 3 are operating from. Fiduciary responsibility is a legal term. It requires those in power to be mindful and to work in the best interests of the taxpayers. There are more taxpayers in sumter county not in tv than in tv. Yet all these 3 seem to care about is the heck with anybody but us in tv. Total negligence.

color of law ? Anyone?

Every Florida Taxpayer Will Pay Higher Taxes
 
What many on this thread fail to understand is that if Florida HB 337 and S 750 are enacted, EVERY Florida property taxpayer will be paying higher taxes whenever new development is built in their county and the costs of that development are greater than the impact fees currently being charged in that county. Since the developer of The Villages wishes to keep their impact fee payments as favorable as they have been, they are willing to take the impact fee decisions by the other 66 counties in Florida out of the hands of those county governments. I wonder if the other 66 counties are in favor of giving up this responsibility? If you have friends or relatives in another county, you might want to make them aware of this slight of hand.

With every contractor that currently sub-contracts for the Villages and wants to continue to be on the list for future work.

Some of the surrounding communities are gathering signatures on a petition to present. All petitions must be completed and submitted 20 days prior to the meeting.

Remember that every construction worker who appears at that meeting is being paid time and a half to show up.

Unless their employer doesn't understand the law, he will be paying them if he asked them to show up. Can I prove that the employer is obeying the law? Of course not, but it is highly likely.
