NORTH PORT – Wellen Park made its case Tuesday to 12th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Hunter W. Carroll in its suit to end the contraction petition process started by residents seeking to separate themselves from the city of North Port.
And while the bulk of the two-plus hour hearing was taken up by the testimony of attorney Jeff Boone – the attorney partly responsible for the land annexations in question, as well as the legislation that created the West Villages Improvement District – Carroll noted that his decision will come down to a concept in Florida law that says all contracts wrap into them all laws that existed at that time.
