State Rep. Darryl Rouson Of St. Petersburg

Is it appropriate for State Rep. Darryl Rouson to lobby Hillsborough County Planning Commissioners pushing sprawl?........here
He openly advocated for a “multi-modal” center out in the far corner of the county, where we purposely do not have urban services such as water and sewer and where the land use designation does not allow for this sort of thing. If Democrats are good for anything, isn’t it usually being anti-sprawl and pro-gay rights? Rouson appears to be neither,
but then I found he used to be a Republican.

I used to vote Republican until I realized that I was getting the shitty end of the stick.
