Fulton indicated in a strongly worded letter that unless Weber agreed by Monday to sell the property, the school board would use eminent domain to obtain it. . . . Fulton school board president Gail Dean said the board had been under the impression that the district was in negotiations with a willing seller. "Had we known they had no interest in selling, we would not have pursued it," she said.

Maybe Dean can explain who or what wrote the letter. "Fulton" refers to the county and/or the school district. Counties and school districts don't write letters, people do. Who wrote the letter? Am I supposed to believe that a letter threatening that the Fulton School District would use eminent domain to obtain land, was written and sent without the school board's knowledge? I don't. And nobody threatens to use eminent domain (especially accompanied by a very short term deadline), when they think they're negotiating with a willer seller. Dean lies.
