Education: Golf is dying, many experts say. According to one study by the golf industry group Pellucid Corp., the number of regular golfers fell from 30 to 20.9 million between 2002 and 2016. ... Unless the golf industry can change its ways, the decline will mean a lot of empty greens across the country. Jun 8, 2018

I requested Sumter County provide me with the last five Villages developers invoiced expenses. I find it interesting that the Villages developers presented multimillion dollar invoices to the county for reimbursement the EXACT day, July 10, 2018, the commissioners approved their 30 year contract! If it smells like poop it must be poop on the taxpayers!

The $150 million figure is conservative. Only the Developer and his County Commissioners can give you the exact figure. In an October 19 article, the Orlando Sentinel cites a figure of $186 million just for roads. Thus, that number doesn't include libraries, fire and police stations and equipment, government buildings, sewage and water treatment plants, etc.--other infrastructure that other counties include in a developer's impact fee.
If you have a better figure, I would be glad to be educated. |

I don’t see anything in the contract that this contract is counter active to the agreement! I think these charges should be billed back to the developers!

Could you please point out the factual errors rather than attacking the writer.

Yes, I see that the attacks on Lauren Ritchie have started already.

My point is the developer sees a trend and is planning for it. I have NEVER had an issue getting a tee time. If you look on the courses, rarely do you see a Villages' golf cart. If the "Southern" villagers are significantly impacting the courses...........you would see tons of Villages' golf carts. It ain't happening and you don't see the rentals. Dooms Day is not around the corner.

Yes............Look at the County Budget. Planned expenditures are no where near that amount. That's why I keep asking posters for factual numbers. Not made up numbers. Stick to the facts.

UPDATE!
On July 10, 2018 Sumter County Commissioners approved and signed the 30 year NO BID contract with the Villages developers. In this contract it states that the developers can submit reimbursement invoices to Sumter County. On July 10, 2018 after signing this contract the developers submitted over millions of dollars for reimbursement for projects BEFORE this contract was signed! I have a copy of this executed agreement and no where in the contract does it state that the developers can receive reimbursement money retroactively! Is this illegal? Should the developers pay back these millions back to the taxpayers? |
