Restaurants, shops told to leave Lake Worth casino building by May 31 for renovations

Click title for link to PBP article - make sure to check the 68 comments (so far, as of time of posting). These quotes stood out from the article:

Three years ago, city officials told casino tenants that the weathered building was structurally unsound and that they would have to leave by March 31. After getting another opinion from building experts, the city allowed the tenants to stay.
"The city cries wolf so often it's hard to believe them," Yarbrough said.
and this from our Vice Mayor:
"It is going to happen because it's supported by a majority of the residents," Vice Mayor Suzanne Mulvehill said. "It's been a 30-year fight. It's historic."
