Fraudulent Transit Plan Skewered at Tampa NAACP Meeting: They Will Vote ‘No’

There is one group in Hillsborough County that Jeff Vinik can’t buy.
The Vinik-inspired sales tax referendum came under heavy fire Thursday night when Tampa’s African American community attacked it as vague, promoting unwanted gentrification, and a bailout for development interests at the expense of the working poor.
Vinik’s three stooges—Rena Frazier, Brian Willis, and Michael Stephens—were envisioned by their boss as glib emissaries.  At the end of the evening, the trio were tongue-tied and nonplused by incisive questioning and criticism over Vinik’s hidden agenda.
Tampa Bay Beat has learned from two independent sources that certain people close to the NAACP were offered cash to wheedle an endorsement of what amounts to a multi-billion dollar taxpayer swindle. 
Tyler Hudson, Vinik’s point man in the grossly misnamed All For Transportation (AFT) effort, sat grim faced in the audience as criticism from Tampa’s black community rained down on the plan.  Cristina Barker, Mayor Bob Buckhorn’s former protegé on loan to Vinik, sat frowning and scribbling notes. Kevin Thurman, the fourth stooge and relegated to the audience, ineptly tried to explain the glaring flaws in the $15 billion, 30-year developer bailout which would make Hillsborough County the Florida county with the highest sales tax.
No local media were in apparent attendance.

Brian Willis 2018

“I’m interested in service and I think we need good people running, and if an opportunity is there, I’ll think about running again, It’s been a great experience and I really enjoyed it and meeting people and getting out there and talking about issues, and if I’m fortunate enough to get the opportunity again, if it’s the right time, 
I’ll definitely consider it.”

Hillsborough County Beware: Jim Norman Is Plotting Again

He told Mitch Perry of SPB that he is plotting a comeback. Everything you thought you knew about what happened to him in 2010 is wrong. It was all the media's fault. He is fired up about setting the record straight. here 

“I’m embarrassed for our community that he’s even considering a run, as for me, I’m looking forward to holding him accountable for years of creating sprawl and turning his back on this county while enriching himself.” Pat Kemp

“I am out in the community meeting with voters and I consistently here that our community is ready for new ideas and new leadership, I am confident voters don’t want to go back to the days of investigations and accusations of corruption.” Brian Willis

“They will always remind you whatever challenges you have faced…so that will always be there, we all have a record, and so people have a tendency to remind us of our record, as well.” Tom Scott

Well said Mr. Scott, lets start now.
Also please note, Ronda Storms is also thinking about coming out of the shadows.

LA GACETA: The Advantage goes to Democrat Pat Kemp

    Democrat Pat Kemp filed to run for County Commission District 6 and named Mary Mulhern as her treasurer. She joins Democrats Brian Willis and Marisol Blanco. … That advantage goes to Kemp, whom we think is the favorite to win the Democratic primary and general election no matter who the Republicans pick as their candidate. In her last race, in 2014, she lost by just a half percent to Commissioner Al Higginbotham, who had the advantage of four times more money and the look of an incumbent.
    She’s already attracted big backers such as Betty Castor, Jim Davis, Ed Turanchik, Kent Bailey, Peggy Land, Sally Phillips, Sam Shah and Dale Swope. here

We Love Brian Willis, But!

He is running against the legendary 
Pat Kemp,
 what a waste. 
He should run for something else.

Pat Kemp For County Commissioner,
