To the Editor:

Villagers pay every month through their dues to help maintain the beauty of The Villages. Flowers are replaced so often that I call it “busy work”. We have many palm trees with dead fronds just hanging there that need to be cleaned up. In the Village of Springdale, there is a pond to the right as you enter which has so many dead evergreen trees that it is “not beautiful” at all. I am sure there are many other dead trees in The Villages that need to be removed as well. Yet, there are new flowers being planted in The Villages all the time.

Why aren’t The Villages doing something about them?  Oh…I see no reason to raise our dues for these jobs either.
