This is America, the land of the free, everywhere but in Sun 'n Lake of Sebring. The residents of Sun 'n Lake live in a dictatorship, with no chance to participate in the government of the community. The dictators use taxpayer dollars to fight in court against taxpayer wishes. They are currently fighting for the voting rights of large land owners against residents. ...more

According to Gary Ritter, director of South Florida Water Management District, SLID is responsible for the water management system for Spring Lake, including the golf course. So if that is the case, there is no reason for SLID to buy the golf course. The current owner has stated SLID has every legal right to clear the water ways. They have an easement, he stated, at the meeting last Wednesday. If SLID buys the golf course for $3.4 million, how much more is it going to cost to clean out the ponds, canals and lakes? All the SLID board members have talked about is buying the golf course. How is this going to fix the problem without dredging the water ways? ...more

As a concerned resident of Spring Lake, and owning property here for 12 years, I am strongly in favor of SLIDS'sroposed purchase of the Spring Lake Golf Resort. A previous letter to the editor indicated that a canvassing of many of the residents indicated 100 percent of them were not in favor of the purchase of the golf course. I have also discussed this purchase with a number of Spring Lake residents, probably over 100, only one said they were not in favor of the purchase and that a couple in fact had their home for sale for over a year and hope to move to another golf community. It seems to me that having a esethically looking, well maintained golf course that Kitson and Partners (the proposed managers of the golf course) have proven they will do as they have done on the rest of the golf courses they have managed, would improve all residents of Spring Lake's value which has been proven in hundreds of golf communities throughout Florida. ...more

The Sun 'n Lake 2009 landowner's election is over but the controversy over voting rights will linger on. Elections normally are fought on several issues; what was done wrong, what candidates would do to correct incumbents' errors and all kinds of promises of good things to come. That was not the case here. ...more

Don't Forget Merchants Funny, we hear so much about the big corporations hurting from this economy yet very little is mentioned about small business owners (though my chiropractor did ask me if I was going to Washington to ask for a bailout for my company). Other than that, not many are calling to ask how I am surviving the recession as a small business owner. ...more
