DSCC EXTENDS CONGRATULATIONS TO JOHN RAESE AS PALM BEACH COMMISSION GIVES HIM THUMBS UP ON MANSION EXPANSION
In Meeting Today, Palm Beach Architecture Commission Approves Transforming Giant Dollhouse Into "Victorian Conservatory"
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is officially extending congratulations to John Raese this afternoon, after the Palm Beach Architecture Commission finally granted the Raeses permission to build a 14x15 foot "glass conservatory" in place of a giant dollhouse on their property in Palm Beach, Florida.
"Congratulations to John Raese on his big win in front of the Palm Beach Architecture Commission," said DSCC Communications Director Eric Schultz. "If your home is where your heart is, John Raese's heart is in Palm Beach. We wish him the best with this new solarium."
As Politico first reported, the Town of Palm Beach's Architecture Commission met today to consider whether to grant the Reaeses permission to build a 14x15 foot "glass conservatory" on their property. At a hearing last August, commissioners were unimpressed with the plans for the conservatory, with one saying it looks like a "people cage." Politico noted that the Raeses' planned expansion has "been a matter of some local controversy since last year, when the Commission turned down a larger version of the project."
John Raese held no known public events today, and has yet to divulge to West Virginians if he attended the Commission's meeting in Palm Beach to plead his case in person.
It's clear that multi-millionaire John Raese just doesn't understand West Virginia values. Raese wants to eliminate the minimum wage and failed to pay workers compensation for on the job injuries. He's also faced questions about where he lives, after a report came out showing Raese owns homes in several states, including Florida, where his family lives in a 7,000 square-foot home with a peach colored marble driveway. Raese also faced heat when it was revealed that he tried paying West Virginians to write favorable letters to the editor to local newspapers on his behalf.
The conservatory is probably going to cost more than the average home in West Virginia. Of course he was in in Florida? That's where his priorities are.
