Is Verge Still In The Negotiation Loop With TAMPOA?

His comments in The Citizen would seem to indicate that he's part of the secret negotiations going on with TAMPOA. In an effort to prevent "leaks" TAMPOA has cut off virtually all communication with its members. Something is in the works according to Verge who says, "I think we are close." We don't think he was just talking about the Waterfront Project when he made that comment.

Of course, the City and TAMPOA have been "close" before, so no one should bet the farm on what Verge or TAMPOA is saying. The City Commission has the final say and it's any one's guess where their heads are. Some may be getting worried, though, that because of their pussy-footing around, they are heading for a loss of the Waterfront Property, just like they lost the Truman Annex.
