Its not nice to spread rumors, mom.
1. The nuns are NOT suing him. I get their literature as I am a donor, and any controversy was settled amicably years ago. He remains on their board and helps them raise money.
2. He wanted to build the university in Michigan on land he owned, but the zoning was not approved despite court cases and ballot initiatives. So he land was offered to him in Collier County near Naples. Everyone had plenty of notice that this was going to happen. Some find it imprudent to move. But prudence is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone knows he is rich, catholic, and eccentric. When people benefit from those attributes, people love him. And he is villified when he continues ot be who he is.
3. The deal in Florida is as mich commercial as it is institutional, as huge land developers are invovled. There will be no backing out.

That truly doesn't mean that there wasn't a suit, just that it was settled. I'm sorry that I didn't know it was settled but it is not a rumor to tell facts. A suit was filed. God Bless him for spreading around cash where it is needed but he is not a saint, none of us are.
I have heard from people who did move here and do not want to move again. That is not rumor, maybe heresay.
I wish him the best but will tell what I know of it before FReepers start selling their houses. Nothing is wrong with information.
