Hugh spun up his "smart guys" (one liberal and one conservative lawyer) with the full information, including the "redevelopment plan," prior to his show, and they both indicated that Cypress was WAY out of line here.
I keep hearing about this "okay" but don't see a copy of it anywhere, I've looked. Cottonwood's site has copies of everything but that. I don't think this letter is as absolute as Cottonwood would have us believe. I find it curious that this "smoking gun" letter isn't reproduced as definite proof. Poster on the other thread who claims to have some knowledge of the situation did say the "okay" came in a letter.
RD & JH2, thanks, as always, for the flags.
