An Ivory-Tower Opinion

Michael Putney (the George Stephanapolis of South Florida TV news) writing in the Herald "after listening to eight days of testimony, the back-and-forth exchanges between various attorneys and Judge Jeri Beth Cohen, and considering the evidence presented at trial in Norman Braman's lawsuit against the Miami Megaplan" thinks that "Miami-Dade County gave away the store when it negotiated the contract to build a stadium for the Marlins". He says Mayor Alverez "showed a willful disregard for the team's finances". He thinks Glenn Straub's offer should get at least some consideration. And Loria's a sleazeball (I'm paraphrasing here).
