Mr. Lewis Crampton, chairman of the South End-based Citizens’ Association of Palm Beach, I read your concerns today [now yesterday] about "proposals" in regard to the Lake Worth Beach/Casino. Before I get to the letter will straighten out confusion on where this process is—called the "Invitation to Negotiate" (ITN):
- No proposal is being considered. Nothing has been presented to the Lake Worth City Commission. No vote has been taken. There is NO proposal.
- There IS NO PROJECT.
- Hudson Holdings is one company involved with the ITN. There are 2 others.
- Think of an ITN like this: you're planning a vacation later this year and you haven't narrowed down what continent you want to visit yet alone a destination. This is the idea stage. It's as simple as that. The ITN is tasking people/companies to creatively solve a problem.
- What's the problem? The problem is the Lake Worth Beach/Casino is hemorrhaging money. It was based on a flawed business plan and is failing and fast.
Now read a letter from someone that you might be familiar with: Mr. James Tebbe, President, Gulfstream of Lake Worth Condominium Association:
If you want me to send you a copy of this letter, please email me. |
And one more thing, Commissioner McVoy, who just happened to "chance" on the meeting mentioned in the letter? He voted for the secret ITN process. It was a unanimous vote; here is the proof:
I hope this helps you "assess the situation". Please share this information with your citizen's association, neighbors, and friends.
Thank you,
Wes
