Hillsborough County GOP Corruption

County commissioners are expected to vote Wednesday on $25,000 worth of subsidies to incentivize a Hillsborough County film company to shoot a film in Hillsborough County. The proposed incentive, designed to "secure the local filming of the motion picture," will cover 10% of the budget for No Postage Necessary, a film produced by Plant City-based Two Roads Picture Co. here

According to county records, the majority owner of Two Roads, Jennifer Closshey, has been a regular campaign contributor to commissioners over the last decade, donating $2,500 to Al Higginbotham, $250 to Ken Hagan, and $250 to Stacey White.
Mr Hagan and Mr. White, you guys come cheap!

Turn Up & Turn Out For Trans lives In Ybor

Last Saturday night, employees of Southern Nights perpetrated physical, psychological and emotional violence against Miss Ed and we.are.not.here.for.it. Miss Ed was *maced* without warning and forced out of the club with impaired vision. The police officer on the scene verbally harassed/insulted her, then left without writing a police report. Miss Ed had to be taken to the emergency room for care where she was further inconvenienced and harmed by hospital staff.

We (you and I) are going to Ybor on Saturday night to tell the employees and patrons of Southern Nights -and other Ybor city entertainment venues- that violence against trans lives will not and cannot be tolerated. here
