Here at Tropicana we have a Board of Directors which has not been transparent regarding all aspects of the park sale. We have seen suspicious interference with the last Murex election as well as defiance of an agreement with Murex regarding exclusivity. Did the Board violate that agreement when MHM jumped in at the last minute just before that vote?
We have seen the surprise buyer MHM getting precise details of the Murex offer in order to prepare theirs. How did that happen? Has there been unethical sharing of confidential information?
And the most recent surprise Murex proposal (#3) was tossed into the ring by an email to us without any explanation regarding how that came about. And that Murex offer was delayed to reach us. Why?
Evidently the Board President has an explanation about that which he sent to shareholders, but I never got it. I am requesting a copy.*
Now, there is a “meeting” and vote on Feb. 9, but if you were expecting a discussion, you will probably only get the vote and the result.
And that vote for Feb 9 is ridiculous because we already voted to sell the park. Why haven’t we simply gone ahead with Murex offer #3? They still haven’t reached their finish date.
Later MHM could be considered if Murex is gone..
The shareholders should insist that their Board be completely transparent in these matters and should not play games in denying us pertinent information. Lack of information creates a climate of suspicion, and these issues require that the shareholders trust the Board.

So, what’s it all about:
Editor’s Note: 2/2/21: Co-Op Secretary Sandy Balboni today sent me a copy of this email that went out on Jan. 28:
Tropicana Co-op, Inc.
16711 McGregor Blvd
Fort Myers, FL 33908
239-243-0822
From PG OK–what then is the “validity of the offer?” Why doesn’t his note explain what Friemann has planned for this Murex offer?

Perhaps I am doing something wrong since I never see any comments on any of the posts when I click on the
“See all comments ” button
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Ralph
Editor’s note: Hi Ralph. Sorry you have had a problem. I would love to hear your opinions. Just click on comments or send me an email to Blogfinger@verizon.net and write your comment there. I will transfer it to the blog where our readers can appreciate it by clicking on “comments” at the end of each post.
And Ralph the reason you don’t find any comments is that there are very few. Yesterday we had 182 visits but no comments. I wish there were comments, but I appreciate that folks are finding this site and visiting. I assume people who visit have opinions, so maybe we will see more comments in the future.
