In which case, it's none of their concern if Villagers pay for the entertainment the renters and public get to enjoy at the Town Squares.
Besides, it was just a Troll Post anyways ... the same "post" appeared in a "Letter to the Editor" (https://www.**************.com/2023/...XcK-BabxEQjx9g) |

100% agree. Having younger people around the squares helps keep things vibrant.

In October of 2020 the 1% county tourism tax was abolished by the BOCC, this was the source for approximately 50% of the funds used to provide for the entertainment (bands/singers) nightly in the squares. This was done as a measure to ease pressure on businesses and encourage more economic activity during the COVID fiasco of 2020. The county had approximatelyy $2.5M left over in the fund that held this tax revenue, it was used for much needed upgrades to the county fairgrounds. The cost burden for the nightly entertainment in the squares now falls fully on the merchants in each of the squares. No monies for the amenity fees, PWAC fund, CDD maintenance assessments, or AAC fund pays for the entertainment.

And does this apply to Sawgrass? There are very few merchants to pay for the entertainment. |

So that means, if a non villager eats, drinks or buys something in the square, they are effectively paying for the entertainment. |

What funds are those and what part of the State budget do they come from?

Thanx - I understand that. My post was directed to OBB in hopes of identifying her source of misinformation.
