Visions of Sugar Plums

Peter Willard of Greater Bay and Mayor Jeff Clemens, part of the Triad

The owner of the Sabal Plam asked that I take down the photo where Peter Willard sleeps when he is here. So, I will respect his wishes. Instead, envision that Peter is sleeping under the stars, at our pool, covered in that bubble wrap, trying to get that much closer to the plum.

When someone does something so egregious, you always ask, "How can you sleep at night?" Well now we know. Look at this beautiful room at Sabal Palm B&B. This is where Peter Willard sleeps, dreaming on how to wrangle our beach away once and for all.

He dreams of the jackhammer and ball and chain at our Casino building. He dreams about taking away all of our upper level parking and building a mall nearly the size of The Lucerne downtown. He dreams of cutting off access to our beachgoers but most of all, he dreams of dealing with a City that can't negotiate a deal, that continues to let him get away with non-performance and a City that cares nothing for its people, because if it did, they would have allowed us to vote on this zoning change.

It's almost X'mas. Will Peter Willard get his plum?
