SHORT TAKES : Seawall Divides Socialite, Town
<i> From Times Wire Services</i>
PALM BEACH, Fla. —
The ex-wife of Revlon founder Charles Revson has been slapped with what city officials say is this tony resort’s biggest fine ever for failing to repair a crumbling seawall at her $3-million estate.
Johanna (Ancky) Johnson has been ordered to pay $193,000, or Palm Beach may begin foreclosure proceedings, Town Atty. John Randolph said. Officials placed a lien on her home in June.
Johnson called the fine and lien “ridiculous” and said her son, John Revson, has been working with engineers to arrange repairs.
