The family of Palm Beach County Commission Chairman Tony Masilotti made as much as $1.3 million in connection with a government land purchase in Martin County, using a secret land trust and a tangled series of real estate transactions.
The profit came from two landowners who stood to make millions by selling 3,000 acres to the South Florida Water Management District: David and Jeffrey Lee, farmers from Palm Beach County. Before selling the land to the district, the Lees sold a sliver of it to a Masilotti family trustee. Documents show that the Lees later guaranteed a big profit on the Masilotti family's investment — but only if the water district went forward with the 3,000-acre deal."
Guess who the Lees' attorney was? Harvey Oyer.
Guess who gave a $300 campaign contribution to a candidate running in District 3? Harvey Oyer
