Feed the watchdog

Villages-News.com is the only local, independent news organization that serves as your watchdog.

Our reporters attend countless government meetings, examine budgets and ask the tough questions.

Where else would you have learned about a plan to pump water out Sumter County for sale as bottled water, the $1 million+ project to shore up erosion at the Morse Boulevard Bridge embankment or the huge increase planned to be passed onto residents for printing the weekly Recreation News?

At the same time, Villages-News.com offers insight into decision-making by dedicated elected officials who are good stewards of the money with which they are entrusted. It’s their names you want to remember at election time.

We have bold editorial coverage plans for the year ahead. We are upgrading our servers for faster load times, enhanced security, and a better user experience. 

Villages-News.com does not choose sides when it comes to politics. We report right down the middle, providing the information which helps you make your own decision.

We need your help.
