So whose ox was gored?

Today it was reported that local businessman Stan Jarvis, of Lakeland Multitrade, wrote a letter to Council wherein he complained about the activities of local activists, Keith Oliver and Manfred Schumann. He extolled the virtues of free enterprise and asked that Council proceed full steam ahead with large projects like the Home Depot project activists be damned! Well the question being asked today was,"Is this businessman worried about the loss of big development or the loss of a big steel contract?"
