One concern of this writer…
not the safety…not the environmental impact……am satisfied with both…
the concern read online yesterday…that liquid natural gas companies have diverted their shipments meant for the states when offered 30-40% more from foreign countries….if accurate…this is cause for alarm and some sort of iron clad clause needs to be in place at the inception of approval…. to protect what we signed on to… (Google lng diverted from us)….

IT PAYS TO BE A TOWN ATTORNEY…
The Editorial …
‘Scrap sweetheart deal’
Our Opinion; Sunrise doesn’t need a $432,000-a-year city attorney…
You read it right….well known…attorney Stuart Michelson…is set to be hired by the Sunrise Commissioners for the big bucks….he of course is married to Broward County Commissioner Ilene Lieberman…and also represented 2 of the sitting commissioners in the past…
It’s an increase from their previous counsel of $264,868 dollars!…
BCbythesea…Mr Michelson…is only one of the numerous attorney/politician marriages in Broward….that have confounded many observers who have questioned the ethics of the relationship by nuptials overlapping with politics….over the years…
It actually makes the recent LBTS…Town Attorney single bid RFP…and questionable relationship of the Special Magistrate with our new counsel…pale in comparison….
Although…LBTS should still rectify this situation………
