The Villages could have a single tenant – the AAC.

Perhaps Mr Cipollone's strategy was to rally the troops on the eve of the vote. Without his announcement would there have been an overflowing audience in attendance. Did the presence of a large audience pressure the commissioners away from a rubber stamp ? Plenty of time now to talk about Katie Belle's resurrection in the future. If the developer got the rubber stamp last night game would have been over. FYI why would the developer ever consider renting the property to the AAC ?
Me thinks Mr Cipollone just outsmarted Goliath and won the first battle. Unfortunately I foresee the war continuing.
