Who's the Real Bully?

After trashing the mediated settlement of the Southard Street dispute with Truman Annex, Commissioner Clayton Lopez is pushing the City to exercise its eminent domain powers. He claims in the Key West Citizen that the City "extended our hand one more time to give" making a deal "another try" and states that "if they don't come to the sandbox then we will go with eminent domain." He was involved with the mediation and presumably on board with the deal until he got to the commission meeting where he did an about face. Now unhappy that TAMPOA attorney, Bill Andersen, won't negotiate any more, he threatens that "I'm not going to let any group of 400 bully the people of this city."

Why, Commissioner Lopez, would you expect Attorney Andersen to play in your sandbox when you and the other commissioners effectively pooped on his proposals and threw sand at the Truman Annex residents by calling them bullies. It's you who are the bully. Take your hands out of the poop and wash your mouth out with Lysol. Then, maybe Andersen will believe you and play in your sandbox.
