TAMPA - The chemical testing lab that's fighting to block construction of an ethanol plant now faces a threat from its landlord, the Tampa Port Authority.
In a lawsuit against PEL Laboratories, the public agency is asking a judge to rule the company violated its lease and can be kicked off the site where it has done business for 16 years.
PEL's attorney charged Thursday that the port is bullying her client.
"It's punishment, slapping PEL across the face for exercising its First Amendment rights, " said attorney Marion Hale. "It's just intimidation, pure and simple."
(WHAT??? Tampa INTIMIDATING someone??? NO !! This can't be. Pull up a chair, kiddies ... it SURE IS.)
The port authority granted Port Sutton EnviroFuels a lease option in 2005 on 22 acres for an ethanol plant that can distill 50-million gallons of the corn-based fuel annually.
But the project stalled after PEL sued last year. The company says emissions from the plant would make it impossible to continue testing soil and water samples for contaminants.
Port Sutton EnviroFuels and the port authority contend that PEL is exaggerating the plant's impacts and angling for a cash settlement to relocate.
(ya THINK????)
PEL maintains EnviroFuels' industrial operations would ruin its business. To port general counsel Charles Klug, that means the port authority could be blocked from leasing the land to any potential industrial tenants. He points out that PEL's lease prevents the company from interfering with other port businesses.
(OR with JEB's pet projects, I think he means. LOL)
