Clarify
In about 2000 the POA won a significant law suit ($40M) against the Developer because of lack of saving some of the profits that were received to protect the Orange Blosom Rec, Center etc.. When there was a refusal to correct the condition, (e.g.allegedly rats in the ceiling, etc.) the POA sued the Developer and won the $40 Million. In addition some of Board Members of the POA were rewarded by the court for their sacrifice of putting their own personal monies up to protect the residents. It was recognized they risked their own money to support the residents. None of them could change their life style for the amount they received from the court. The Developer allegedly was angry that the POA was awarded a win and there was a pledge to set up the VHA and the Developer would use it as a counter to the POA. This goes on as of today. It should be noted that the residents continue to receive benifits from the POA actions. Some of the carts paths improvements etc are from that $40M. I believe some of the $40M is still available to help the residents. Given these are a true representation of why the POA / VHA exist today it can be concluded that it is reasonable that the VHA supports the Developer and the POA represents the residents. Anything else is smoke to protect one or the other organization. Why POA Member meetings open to all while to VHA only open to members. It important to let the sunshine in.

So, as I spend time trying to learn all there is to know about TV, I sometimes come across a curious item – like seeing the two different associations. I really appreciate the replies because whether they are entirely factual or merely an opinion, they provide information. POA here I come!

I agree with this. I prefer the POA to look out for our best interest.

1. How much does the VHA pay the Daily Sun for printing and delivery of The Voice? 2. Can you name one instance where the position of the VHA has been in conflict with the interests of the Developer? I will also add a third question: Are you, as a VHA VP, troubled at all by the close relationship that the Developer has with the VHA and with past presidents of the VHA (see Rubicon's earlier post)? |

organization. Lest you want to attack me, I belong to both organizations. It also appears if Advagodo is very negative towards TV and its developers. It makes me question if he is a resident of TV? If yes, why? If it is so bad as you are making it sound, why do you continue to live here? Just askin'... BTW, can some of that $40 million be used to srtripe the paths? |

Or overpay for a broken down restaurant(or was it a rec center?) that is now being torn down. And in the end where will the parking be for the new rec center. That ACC sure knows what they are doing.........................

But to answer your questions: 1. I am a member of, but not an officer or director of, the POA. Needless to say, I am not a member of the VHA. 2. Fear not, I don't want to "attack" you or anybody else. 3. I am not negative toward the Developer or The Villages. The Developer has done a marvelous job developing The Villages, and has shown absolute genius in that regard. However, the Developer's interests do not always coincide with those of The Villagers, although they do in most cases. Since the Developer controls the TV station, the radio station, the newspaper, many local businesses, and a lot of the local politicians, and since the Developer's interests do not always coincide with those of the residents, I think that it just might be be in the interests of Villagers to have a homeowners' association (like the POA) that is independent of the Developer. 4. I love living here in The Villages, and have no intention of leaving, but thanks for the suggestion. Now that that I have answered your personal attacks and refused to move out of The Villages, what do you think about the issues raised in this thread? BTW, it is interesting that you bring up the matter of the $40 million derived from the class action. Don't forget it took a lawsuit, backed by the POA, to get the Developer to admit that he had "shorted" the residents by that amount in the sale of amenities to the Center District that he controls. |

You are going to take this in a different direction.... This discussion is about the VHA vs POA. Discusding the ACC is a whole other topic...
