That Dog Won't Hunt

"We are being portrayed as white, wealthy Republicans against black, less affluent Bahama Villagers. That is class politics, it's not true and it is wrong," complained TAMPOA attorney, Bill Andersen, to the Key West Citizen recently. "We're left without a negotiating partner, and our only option is the courts."

We'd like to believe you, Bill, but last time we checked our copy of the TAMPOA members roster, we didn't find very many, if any, black families listed. With the cheapest home in Truman Annex selling for nearly a million dollars, we didn't find any "less affluent" families either. And, we appear to be acting like a bunch of damned fool Republicans in this Southard Street dispute. All the jaw-jacking you and the city commissioners are doing in the media, what is that if not the politics of class? Sorry, Bill, that dog won't hunt.
