“I’m extended until Sept. 1 but I still have to find an auctioneer and I’m right in the middle of chemo, feeling awful, but they don’t give a damn,” Emery said last week. “I’m the guy who put this whole damn deal together so it wouldn’t be developed on the bay.”

I'm sure I'm supposed to feel sympathetic, but this seems really straight-forward and the guy doesn't have a leg to stand on. He sold the property to the state. This is the epitome of Having his cake and eating it too. The deal said his sister could live there until she died. Not him.
