"CLEARWATER —The Church of Scientology has offered the Clearwater Marine
Aquarium nearly four times what the city is scheduled to vote on paying
later this month for a vacant downtown property.
The church offered the aquarium $15 million for the 1.4 acre lot,
Scientology spokesman Ben Shaw confirmed, far exceeding the $4.25
million deal the city will decide on closing April 20.
It is the second time in three weeks Scientology leader David
Miscavige has tried to outbid the city — aquarium officials passed on a
$12.5 million offer the church made March 11, opting not to sell before
the city has a chance to vote.
Aquarium CEO David Yates said Thursday the nonprofit is committed to
selling to the city, and no outside offer, no matter the amount, has
changed that."
So you think Scientology really wants that property? I wonder why it's so important to them? So they can make it useful for all citizens of Clearwater? No, I didn't think so either.
