Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, is running for re-election. Election day is March 7th and Castor has not drawn a major opponent.
Castor met with WUSF's Florida Matters at City Hall last week to talk about the challenges facing Tampa, and issues she thinks are important for the city.
The topics Jane Castor addresses are:
- On the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police officers
- On police reform and what needs to change
- On former police chief Mary O’Connor and whether changes should be made to the hiring process
- On organizational issues with the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority and the leadership of Adelee Le Grand
- On affordable housing
- On the city of Tampa’s East Hanna Avenue development and criticism over the cost and lack of diversity of contractors
