Dear lord, he's involved in a real tangle of claims and counterclaims. I don't think he just voted furious, I begin to suspect he's modeling his business practices on the T-bag. Here's the article in Biz J: Downtown hotel The Last Hotel, lender U. S. Bank fight over millions of dollars.
Here's the short version: The current owner, Michael Qualizza, apparently thinks the chairman of U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corp. has a personal vendetta against him over said political affiliations. U.S. Bank is suing Qualizza, Neal Freeman, and developer Tim Dixon for non-payment of a $12.3M construction loan they say came due in December. The defendants claim the bank delayed financing and mislead them about the timing of various historic tax credits leading to additional costs to them of around $5.2M. There's also a dispute over a bridge loan the bank didn't provide and monies owed to Paric. Paric is also suing Qualizza and his partners, as is a management company from Florida called Trust Hospitality LLC that claims it was wrongly terminated.
