The reason the city was sued to begin with was the reprehensible political decision of former Commissioners Nadine Burns, Mac McKinnon, and Retha Lowe, to allow up-zoning in a single family neighborhood. They did not care how this would affect the neighbors. All they were looking at was the tax base. This is not allowed in any other single family neighborhood in our city but they allowed it in Lake Osborne Heights. We went through the legal process to win twice in the Circuit Court but to finally lose in the Appellate Court.
What started out as a political decision may end the same way because the decision rendered today by the Appellate Court is not quite the end. As Tammy would say, "It ain't over til it's over."
This is why we need Florida Hometown Democracy.
