Maybe the Fort Lauderdale City Commission isn’t responsible for C. Ann Lanese’s death.
Maybe.
An 87-year-old longtime beach activist, Ms. Lanese collapsed after returning home from a commission vote that occurred about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. She broke her leg and died while physicians were preparing to operate.
Predawn meetings like the one this week are all too common under Mayor Jack Seiler. Critics say Seiler has turned the Sunshine Law into the Moonlight Law.
Ms. Lanese was one of the original residents of Leisure Beach condominium. She was at the meeting when commissioners approved a new four-story parking garage next to her home. She was the first one signing a March petition from the condo protesting the huge scope of the garage and other beach improvements.
The parking garage is an issue that interests not only Ms. Lanese. Hundred of beach residents, perhaps thousands, will be impacted by the garage blocking views of the Intracoastal Waterway.
Yet it was debated in the wee hours.
