They had nothing invested but received $300,000 and sued for more.  Greedy suckers deserve to be treated like this.  Does anyone have any further insight on this story?  It don't pay to fight "City Hall".

I agree!!!!! The membership was greedy and wanted more. 
I expect if the hotel had been sold to a new hotel owner ,
the new owner would of had no obligation to continue their lease
and would of evicted them.
Now if the Post was not incorporated, some members
may be receiving a bill.
I wonder who gave the VFW Post's it's legal advise to go to court ???

The wow factor in the article for me was the court order to return the $300,000.00 to the city with 12% annual interest...that's a really generous return on the city's $$$'s...
