How to spend a $7.9 million surplus. 

-----
Murman, wants the surplus to go immediately toward fixing roads. She threatened to keep commissioners there all day with motions to allocate the money for transportation and questioned their commitment to solving the problem. 

-----
"You guys, is transportation important? 

I mean, really." Murman

-----
 "If transportation was such a high priority for Commissioner Murman, with all due respect, she should have supported the referendum (to raise the sales tax)." Ken Hagan

Tampa Bay's Culture Of Corruption

Many of the politicians who decide how many tax dollars will go to benefit Tampa Bay’s professional sports franchises are also accepting free tickets to those teams’ games.   Tributes also include beer, wine, liquor, and a number of casual food items such as burgers and Cuban sandwiches.  Occasionally, crab cakes and sushi may be added. And access to politically-influential business leaders is always on the menu.

Just re-elected Florida GOP Sandy Murman received three luxury box tickets to the 2016 Outback Bowl for her husband.

 -----

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, is a frequent guest of local sports teams.

-----

Florida GOP State Senator Tom Lee, who is not allowed to accept any gift worth more than $25 as a state legislator, received a pair of suite tickets to the Feb. 2016 Monster Jam at Raymond James Stadium.

Sandy Murman Voted To Support The Rick Scott Express (TBX)

The BOCC deprived us of the right to vote on Go Hillsborough. One of those at the center of that decision is on the ballot Nov. 8.

Sandy Murman

Commissioner Murman has also voted to support the Rick Scott Express (TBX) and the tolling of the Howard Frankland Bridge. It's our turn to send a message.

If you're in the market for new vision and leadership on the County Commission, Vote Jeffrey Zampitella 

and Patricia Kemp...

In person early voting begins!

Cojones-Less Hillsborough County Commissioners

Exception Kevin Beckner

-----------

The Hillsborough BOCC has voted 6-1 in favor of the $600m plan to raid the existing budget to further subsidize sprawl. Outgoing commissioner Kevin Beckner was the lone no vote. Virtually 100% of the spending will occur in areas where developers are building houses, but are not providing adequate infrastructure. Instead, the county is increasingly taking money from taxpayers in established neighborhoods (Tampa), and using it to subsidize new growth. here

----------

After a show of force by citizens at Wednesdays meeting they still voted against us. Hillsborough Dems wake up, you have the power, 
do the the math.

$600 Million Slush Fund

----------

"It's really nothing more than a $600M subsidy for more sprawl - exactly what Hillsborough County does not need." Kent Bailey

-----------

"Just another south county giveaway. Hundreds of millions flows to south county, where the developers don't pay shit and neither does the sprawling tax base." Jason Ball

"Politicians and government workers go to jail for misappropriation of public funds. Remind them." 
Kevin O'Neill

Florida GOP and Pro TBX county commission candidates Sandy Murman and Tim Schock had more important things to do and could not make it.

-----------

 "Murman is afraid to debate me because then she'll have to answer about her ethics issues that tainted the GoHillsborough process and wasted millions of dollars that ended with her vote to kill and chance we have of funding/building/operating a 21st century transit system."
