School Board: Well — The voters did a number on who should run for local offices in our upcoming municipal and county races.
For Tampa Mayor: I am an undecided voter. Granted, I am looking for work to take me out of Tampa and Florida, so I don’t plan on being here, but I’m still interested in who will stand out. I like Ed Turanchik who has experience in local government and has pushed transit ideas such as ferries for our county. Also, we have Topher Morrison, who has proposed the gondolas for Tampa to install. Current Counilors Harry Cohen and Mike Suarez should also be considered for their votes on ferries. Not to mention Cohen was the force behind the cannabis decriminalization ordinance! I like these ideas and believe in innovation for Tampa’s future. Jane Castor or any Buckhorn apprentices would be awful for our City and will not get my support.
City Council: Mixed bag — I support John Godwin, Bill Carlson, and Orlando Gudes. Who do you like for City Council?
our SB in 2018, let me tell ya. They took a Board that desperately needed better membership and put WORSE people on (looking at YOU South Tampa). In order to keep it from spiraling into hell, we’ll need to elect some decent people in 2020. I think Robert Pechacek should run again considering his calm demeanor, attention to the issues, and teaching credentials. I wouldn’t mind seeing Bill Person attempt to get the West County Seat again. What do you think?
County Commission: Sky White would be an excellent addition! We need to keep Pat Kemp on the BOCC for sure. As for Murman’s seat, what should we do there? Jen McDonald is the only candidate in the race right now.
