Florida GOP Sandy Murman's Publicity Stunt

Jeff Zampitella

The Democrat trying to oust Sandy Murman from the Hillsborough County Commission says she was disingenuous when she offered an alternative to a proposed transportation tax last fall.

Florida GOP Sandy Murman Yes On TBX

We've been trying to tell Sandy Murman about the problems with #TBXfor months. She's ignored us and ultimately voted yes on TBX, paving the way to demolish 100 private homes and 30 businesses. Sandy Murman wants to blame @fdot7 but the ultimate responsibility is with her and her vote. She wants to blame #Fdot but shouldn't she have known this plan as a sitting @Hillsborough MPO member? here

Florida GOP, Pro TBX Sandy Murman MIA

The Tiger Bay debate in Ybor was originally scheduled for October 7. Sandy Murman was unable to appear on that date so Tiger Bay reschedule the event around Ms. Murman's schedule to October 14. She confirmed almost two weeks ago, now suddenly has a conflict on this date.

"Maybe Ms. Murman doesn't want to defend her vote on TBX. Maybe she doesn't want to discuss the fiscally irresponsible transit 'plan' that she recently proposed that would have jeopardized our credit rating and threatened future essential services (police, fire, and rescue). Maybe she wanted to avoid having to answer questions about her donors - many of them developers - and why she often votes in favor of developer interests, instead of the residents of a particular area. These are all questions that may never get answered now that she is not going to attend the October 14 forum." here

Sandy Murman Voted To Support The Rick Scott Express (TBX)

The BOCC deprived us of the right to vote on Go Hillsborough. One of those at the center of that decision is on the ballot Nov. 8.

The Hypocrisy Of Commissioner Sandy Murman

Patrons who buy time at internet sweepstakes cafés say they do it to escape boredom, make new friends and possibly win some money. But to Hillsborough County Commissioner Sandy Murman, the cafés are illegal gambling joints that need to be prohibited. Today, Murman will try to get fellow commissioners to support an ordinance to put them out of business altogether.

Republicans are suppose to be pro-business. What about all the people these places employ?

Sandy Murman's Tea Party Advisors

Murman became a no vote on the Go Hillsborough referendum. She has another idea, well it closely reflects ideas and even language put forth by tea party members and a prominent anti-tax activist from 

Pinellas County. here

----------

Tea Party activists, who had been imploring county commissioners to shut down Go Hillsborough and forget the sales tax, cheered Murman’s bold move.

“Sandy, I can’t tell you how proud of I am of your stepping out to lead on the transportation issue. It is fantastic. Thank you for your courage and your dedication to finding the best way for the county." Ken Roberts, Tea Party

Roberts had every reason to be proud. Murman’s plan borrowed heavily from one he had been shopping to commissioners for months.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office and State Attorney Mark Ober found no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing in how county staff, commissioners, and private consultant Beth Leytham acted in the months leading up to the selection of Leytham's client, Parsons Brinckerhoff, for the lucrative "Go Hillsborough" project. But the report corroborates 10Investigates findings that Leytham made a habit of influencing decision-makers behind the scenes. 
And Ober suggested sanctions for Commissioner Sandy Murman - and training for other commissioners - over non-criminal public records violations. here

Sandy Murman smells the stench of defeat

She has unveiled a proposal to change the board’s makeup. She wants to eliminate  at-large seats. Some see it as a naked political move to shore up her future on the board.

Hillsborough County Right Wing Infestation

Florida GOP County Commissioner Sandy Murman says she is "probably" going to leave her district seat to run for a countywide seat in 2018. Murman faces a 2020 term limit. Jumping to a countywide seat would restart her term limit clock. here

DEMS BEWARE

Florida GOP Victor Crist and Ken Hagan could also be seeking new seats that would enable them to avoid term limits.

Throwing Hillsborough Transit Into Reverse

These are major, systemic problems. County Commissioner Mark Sharpe, who serves on the board, gets it; he changed his mind and supported a tax increase for HART, which would cost the average home­owner about 41 cents a year. But his colleague, Commissioner Sandy Murman, a fellow Republican, is still playing politics. Murman said she won't support an increase "even if it's a penny."

Even if it's a penny? This is the mind-set Hillsborough needs to change if it hopes to address transportation and job development in a meaningful way.
