A “suspicious Northerner” who later refused to give a reporter his name said he’s heard “Florida is for sale” and asked if developers had contributed heavily to elected city officials’ campaigns. That raised Adelson’s dander.
“I wouldn’t assume to insult you, and I don’t appreciate being insulted,” Adelson told the man. He said city commissioners “have been 100 percent doing their job, forcing us to do what’s best on your behalf.”
