Clifford Schulman stays in the news with his client PUBLIX by Geniusofdespair

Read “Sunpost” article by Randy Abraham: City to Publix: You Suck!

I have been complaining about the Florida Chamber of Commerce (see Post July 3rd, coincidentally titled: "Florida Chamber of Commerce You Suck!"). Maybe these stores are getting too uppity and need to be slapped down.

The Mayor of Sunny Isles Beach, Norman Edelcup, guns drawn, says to Publix and Clifford:

“It was never the intent of the City Commission to encompass submerged lands that were never platted and which abut other properties,” adding, “This City Commission is not in a position to give greed an opportunity to flourish.”

Publix lawyer/lobbyist Clifford Schulman of Greenberg Traurig shoots back:

”You closed the barn door, but the barn door was open...”

He was referring to a loophole in the City’s zoning that the law firm appeared to uncover for it’s client (Publix) to cash in on.

Resident George Scholl said he would form a boycott of Publix and brave Mayor Edelcup said he would support it, adding:

“Maybe the strategy of Publix and its attorney is to confuse everyone. It’s apparent that Publix will continue to defy the will of the people. There has to be a limit, a time to say ‘no’ to a developer.”

A time to say NO to a developer. Well, if that isn't a new concept!
