Misquote still haunts
In 1995, when I was the new Key West city attorney, Duck Tours sued the city for allegedly allowing Historic Tours of America a sightseeing monopoly, so I asked the City Commission in an executive session for instruction. Only one misreported phrase, rather than the entire transcript of that 1995 session, was shown to the jury in the 2005 Ducks trial, and I've been maligned by the constant repetition of the phrase ever since.

Above and beyond
The Montessori Children's School of Key West would like to thank all the parent volunteers who helped make our recent fundraisers not only possible, but huge successes, as well. These were the pre-Goombay dock party aboard a Sebago catamaran, the Fantasy Fest liquor booth on Duval Street and the Children's Day food booth at Bayview Park.

More details needed on tax bill
Well, the tax bills have gone out and the comments are flying. "How much did yours go up?" is the frequent refrain. In a short period of time, it's a little obvious that we are paying substantially more for just "being here."
