Whats wrong with this picture
In the United States of America you are not allowed to attend the singing of a budget that is paid for with your tax money because it is being held on "private property"that is being paid for with your amenity funds which you have no choice but to pay because your politics differ with the head of your state government?This is very scary.I never thought I would ever see this happen in a place I thought was so wonderful.I don't think I will ever again proudly say I live in the Villages

I don't know why or how the state government ties into it, but there is a budget that's processed by each district in TV. You can find them at the VCDD website. As for being political, it is political just as much as it would be if someone posted a comment about our representatives in Washington having to sign legislation in order to find out what's in it! Maybe that's were what the alleged situation the OP's claiming was leaned from! Then again maybe not. Who knows?

I don't believe the place where the signing took place is part of our amenities. I believe it is private property. I realize it is used by the public for entertainment events but can be closed to the public at the will of the owner. |

Bargee,
Your posting was mighty incoherent but I did know Gov. Rick Scott was signing the state budget here in The Villages today. It was in the Daily Sun and other newspapers. Like Richie said, no one was kept out. Some protesters were moved elsewhere like in any political event. Sure, security was present. Rick Scott is the governor of the state. No problem. Even if you do not agree with the politics of Rick Scott, he is the governor and you have to respect that. Like I have said to Richie and others on the political forum - and this goes for you, Bargee. Get over it. Nothing you can do about it now. Of course, not that I would ever suggest to anyone, if you do not think you can live in a place like this run by the Morse family - no one is holding you here. You might even make a tidy profit on your house on your move to Stonecrest or Lake Wier. |

The Supreme Court has recently rule that you cannot stifle political dissent. There is nothing sicker, or more reprehensible, as the church that protests at Fallen Hero's funerals. But the Court ruled you can't stop it. I know someone will argue the private property defense, but really, is this what TV has descended to? Please reread Franklin's quotation, used in your email signature. I'm sure you could imagine the word dissent in there somewhere. |

The protesters were moved across the street, not to Siberia. If you've been to the square you know this is no big move. |

Dang it, Richie -
I hate it when you give a good clear and coherent answer that is direct, to the point, and also correct. It leaves me nothing at all to argue about. |

Since I am way up here in Ohio, neither the Orlando Sentinel or the Daily Sun are options to read.
Glad someone clarified it....a little. |

Moving some group across the street is not a violation of free speech. Now, if the "protestors" were rounded up and taken to Golden Corral and forced to eat a meal, that would be cruel and unusual punishment.
