What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The City of Naples filed a lawsuit against the Collier County Supervisor of Elections after negotiations over the long-term lease of the airport property failed. The dispute arose because a state law changed the selection process for Naples Airport Authority members from being chosen by city council members to an elections process. The city argues that this change violates a condition of its lease, which was for $1 per year through 2068, leaving the city powerless over its property.
