Florida's Merry Band Of Thieves

Should Alex Sink, Charlie Crist and Bill McCollum Be Under Criminal Investigation?
Three years ago, Florida made bad investments that lost hundreds of millions in value. State leaders blamed the sharks of Wall Street, who they said duped Florida money managers into buying way-too-risky securities.
The St. Petersburg Times has obtained e-mails and internal memos that document a story at odds with the one told by Crist, Sink and McCollum. The records show the state was anything but an innocent dupe;
it was an eager partner.

You’re All Freaks

Kelly Benjamin: An Open Letter To Tampa

Why I’m Running
I’m coming at this race from an activist’s perspective because I care deeply about this city and what goes on around here. I want to be a voice on the council that helps residents guide this city in a new direction, to help transition away from some of the backwards ideas of the past towards a more sustainable city for the future. I want to help build a place that we can all love to call home. I need your help to do it.
