Pat Kemp's Warning
Merging our MPO with Pinellas & Pasco is a bad idea. This is on the agenda at TBARTA next Friday in Tampa, August 24 at 9:30 in the HART boardroom in Ybor City. See the short video above about this Title 6 issue.
I’m very concerned about a TBARTA/FDOT study pushing the idea of merging Hillsborough’s transportation planning organization, the MPO, with the Pinellas and Pasco County MPOs. A three-county MPO would drown out the voices of Hillsborough residents who have shown up by the hundreds to be heard by our MPO. This is a Title 6 issue because Hillsborough’s population is so much more diverse than Pinellas and Pasco.

Nikki Fried has long chosen to keep company with the rich and powerful over workers,” said Fred Frost, Florida campaign lead for the Communications Workers of America.

Fried has donated more than $6,800 to Republican candidates in the last 14 years, the majority coming in the past
three years.

At various points from 2012 to 2016, Fried was registered to lobby for HCA, the hospital chain formerly run by GOP Gov. Rick Scott that paid a $1.7 billion fine to settle Medicaid fraud allegations under his watch. more

The Vinik Tax
Liberty County has the highest sales tax in Florida at 8 percent. It could get company in November if Hillsborough County voters approve a one percent increase in its sales tax ostensibly for transit.
---
The regressive measure, being heavily promoted by developer and former hedge-fund manager Jeff Vinik, will hurt low-income families, communities of color, and retirees. Known more popularly as The Vinik Tax, it is essentially a bailout for his financially troubled downtown Water Street Tampa project. more

Candy Lowe Appreciation Dinner
Last month, about 150 members of the community came together
to honor the visionary leader for her service. Ranging from mayoral candidates
to council members past and present, it was a room full of distinguished guests.
Among the attendees was City Councilman and mayoral candidate Harry Cohen, who said
that Lowe’s most significant contribution to the community is the “respectful
dialogue and civilized forum” that she provides through her regular community
engagements known as “Tea and Conversation with Candy Lowe.” Cohen also
contributed Lowe to helping change the very discourse of the nation by providing
a positive catalyst for open communication through her forums.
An immense amount of planning went into the appreciation
dinner, and many community organizations came together to help orchestrate the
evening’s events. From The London J. Agency’s planning and event specialists and
Mona Judge’s Total Image Hair Salon to a special escort from the Brothers of
the Nation of Islam and Fruit of Islam, no detail was left untouched. Jarvis
El-Amin, organizer and Co-Founder of the Regional Black Chamber and Cecelia
Mitchell with Hands of Hope Sickle Cell Foundation, did an amazing job hosting the
special event.
Candy Lowe continues her odyssey
to enrich the lives of those around her. Her mission to help the local Black
Business Community prosper is gearing up for its thirteenth year, as the
Reunion Black Business Bus Tour prepares to depart again on September 22nd.
Lowe is undoubtedly an unstoppable force in the community. For more information
on tickets and how you can take part in the Reunion Tour event, please visit
their website at blackbusinessbustourflorida.com or call Candy Lowe at
813-394-6363.
