Palm Beach County looking for a way to end lease with Trump's West Palm Beach golf course

A Palm Beach County official this week examined a contract with a Trump Organization affiliate to see if the county could end its lease with the president's signature Trump International Golf Club in unincorporated West Palm Beach.

Howard Falcon, chief assistant county attorney, told The Palm Beach Post on Wednesday he was asked by an unnamed county commissioner about whether the lease with Trump International Golf Club could be canceled.

Falcon said he does not think the county can end its lease with Trump, who pays $88,338 a month in rent for the property.

“My initial reaction is it would be a stretch,” Falcon said.

A lawyer for Trump's golf course on Thursday said he had spoken to Falcon and there was "no basis for canceling the lease." The lawyer asked not to be identified by name.

Just name where he works. I mean, if the media can paint a target on the ten rethugs who voted to impeach by constantly naming them in articles, then the media can do this. Why the sudden concern for naming people?
