Pirates Cove: Homeless In Paradise

Danger!! Stop Now! or else. Thank you" reads a sign aimed at visitors who venture down a wooded path, through pines and palmetto, to a clearing behind a drugstore and a busy intersection. The path leads to Pirates Cove, where, in a circle of tents and tarps, a few members of Southwest Florida's growing homeless population try to survive the downturn in an outdoor existence reminiscent of pioneer life.

Is Dick Greco A Democrat?
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRt2Rg312YnLHrW35MdvZLFRM5rnJxzUuBlCmfiYusUeovN_KMeye942MB6HhOJCxyvvIbVN6h33BmRh0DRZUrWw3tA-MRWZS8JcNA85f9WInowJJgy3Q9zvbHLGRJvHVmwCV4Q/s400/86831_t1130_greco_jb_10_17622405jpg.jpg)
To run his campaign, Greco, a Democrat(?) who has supported Republicans, including Jeb Bush and George W. Bush, has also enlisted entrenched Republicans, presumably to siphon potential votes from Rose Ferlita, the only Republican in the nonpartisan race.
They include former state Rep. Trey Travesia, a conservative known for his anti-abortion stance, and Cameron Ross, who served as a campaign manager for Mike Prendergast, who lost a bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Tampa, in the Nov. 2 elections. Greg Truax, a Tampa-based Republican activist who worked on former Gov. Charlie Crist’s gubernatorial and congressional bids, is also working on Greco’s campaign.

But not what you are proposing.
"My question to Mark Sharpe and his supporters. Why is your solution to create more laws, criminalize more behavior, and increase the burden on an understaffed and underfunded police department, instead of looking to municipalities that have actually implemented programs that reduce costs and get the chronic homeless off the streets?".....Re/Creating Tampa
