Fay, God, and the Fanjuls

Tomorrow's meeting at the Palm Beach County Commission to consider a plan to site an inland port on Fanjul property in the Everglades Agricultural Area has been cancelled because of Tropical Storm Fay. It's a terrible location, whose only conceivable purpose is to ratchet up the land value to the Fanjuls in the poker game with Governor Crist over the future of the US Sugar purchase.

Someone reminded me that an important County Commission meeting in Palm Beach, on the failed Scripps venture, was also cancelled by a hurricane.

Maybe God is on the side of the Everglades. Perhaps that can never be proven. Oh well. On the other hand, it should be much easier to find out if any of the lobbyists for Fanjul interests also work for the Palm Beach County Commission, or, the Port of Palm Beach and if any of them have ever been associated with South Florida Water Management District.

From your lips, to God's ear.

I hope God has a team of Angels that do good research. Because I am sure the Devil is in the details.
