Developer Is A Bully! E-Mail Threat As Two Skyscrapers Rejected

Feb 6, 2016

Developer Jimmy Tate, who wants to build two 39-story towers on public land at Fort Lauderedale’s Bahia Mar, is a big bully.

What do you do with bullies?

You stand up to them.

Commissioner Dean Trantalis did just that early Wednesday, saying rightfully that Tate’s plans were an overreach and a detriment to the beach.

He earned Tate’s scorn in a whiny e-mail that the developer sent to City Hall after the Commission meeting.

Trantalis should take the e-mail and frame it. It is a badge of honor that will probably win him votes, if he runs for something again.

In the e-mail, Developer Jimmy cries about all the money he spent. Then he aims his vitriol at Trantalis:

“YOU are about to earn the legacy of the Commissioner that lost the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show for Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. “
