Tampa City Council to consider new ordinance to allow outside legal counsel for Citizens Review Board

City councilors in Tampa Thursday are expected to discuss drafting a new ordinance to allow outside legal counsel for the citizen board that reviews alleged police misconduct.

A local activist group has been urging city councilors to adopt a new ordinance to allow the Tampa Citizens Review Board to hire an independent lawyer.

Tampa's Citizens Review Board was established in 2015 to build trust between the Tampa Police Department and the community, but the Tampa Bay Community Action Committee says right now, the board can't trust that its legal counsel is objective.

Dunedin man in need of kidney

"Joshua Tannen will be speaking to Tampa City Council to make a public plea for a kidney. Joshua’s mother donated a kidney to him in 2002, but the transplant failed in 2011. For ten years, Josh and his family have been on a search for a donor. Josh is on dialysis every night for ten hours.I invited Josh to speak tomorrow to make his case before Tampa. Please share this story so that Josh’s plea can be heard far and wide. If he was your kid or loved one, you’d be yelling it from the roof top - so the least we can do is a share.
Any leads for Josh? 
 Email me at luis.viera@tampagov.net

Thank you so much to Mitch Perry for doing this story." Tampa City Councilman Luis Viera

Councilman Guido just outside Ybor City




The home of Judge Leo Stalnaker, in Gary, just outside of Ybor City, and now home to Mark and Carrie West, features many original items from the Hillsborough County courthouse that was in downtown Tampa and torn down in the 1950’s.

Not all is lost, because several remnants, from several stained glass windows, to a staircase, and several columns are all salvaged and original from the courthouse.
An interesting feature is the plaster on the walls of some of the rooms. Apparently, the same individual who did work on the Tampa Theatre in 1926, applied a similar finish to some of the rooms in this home.
Absolutely stunning with a great Tampa story.
