Royal Poinciana Playhouse study needs outsider's viewpoint

Saturday, September 27, 2008

(The Palm Beach Daily News) editorial of Sept. 21 approves the Webb report that the Playhouse theater cannot be revived.Your paper reports that Webb Management Services was hired by Sterling Palm Beach (of which Brian Kosoy is CEO), which controls the Poinciana Plaza and whose partners include Rednum Capital Partners (of which Lee Munder is managing director). How much should we rely on reports from a group whose motives would seem to include that of making some money out of what they do?Gene Pandula is quoted in your paper saying, "Experts and reports can say anything they want to say."However, if we do need some help, let us get a so-called "expert" or "planner" or other bright young person who is unaffiliated, unrelated, unconnected and who is from outside, preferably from a place at least 100 miles from here.
