Tampa Candidate's Photo Cuts Buckhorn From His Own Portrait

Is City Council candidate
Jackie Toledo 
using a campaign photo that
superimposes her own image on
Mayor Bob Buckhorn's
official city portrait?

It looks that way, say five  photography  experts who examined both photos.
Mayor Bob is not happy. Toledo's photo could mislead voters into thinking she has an endorsement he hasn't given.
"I knew I would be a lame duck someday, but I didn't think people would be Photoshopping me out of my own picture," he said. here
Are the pics of her with Iorio and Montelione 
also fake?

Pam Iorio for Governor

Show Pam and Florida that she has the backing of Floridians in this state. Rick Scott must go. When a politician ignores the people of his own state and puts politics before the economy of this great state, it's time for that politician to go. Pam Iorio supported High Speed Rail, she understood the economic benefits for Tampa and what it meant for Orlando and all of Florida. Crime remained low under Pam and she took a very hard but needed fiscal approach to the city budget during the Late 2000's recession. The state needs a politician and citizen like Pam to get this state on to the path of opportunity for all, and not just for the few.
