Bigots In The Hillsborough County Commission
Organizers of this year's GaYBOR Days have received a proclamation from Mayor Bob Buckhorn. Even President Barack Obama's office has sent one. But it doesn't look like Hillsborough County Commissioners will send one after five of the commissioners declined to sign a proclamation for this year's 4-day festival.Earlier this month, Terry (#1 Bigot) Kemple, who is a member of the county's Human Relations Board, sent an email to all the commissioners warning them that signing such a proclamation would violate county policy.
Kevin Beckner, along with Commissioner Les Miller, are the only board members to have signed a proclamation for this year's GaYBOR Days.
The five commissioners who did not sign this year's proclamation are
Republicans
Sandy Murman, Victor Crist, Al Higginbotham, Ken Hagan and Mark Sharpe.

Republican County Commissioners Rig Vote
Republican county commissioners approved new Hillsborough voting districts tonight that could ensure their continued dominance on the board, while disappointing Hispanics who wanted a district that would increase their chances of winning a commission seat. The disgusting Sandra Murman never spoke a word on behalf of her map. She left that job to her minion Commissioner Mark Sharpe. Blue Dog Democrat Les Miller joined the five Republican commissioners. Kevin Beckner cast the only no vote.here

The Bait Car Program: Cops Creating Crime
Thought I'd Seen It AllA bait car is a vehicle owned by the police and is intended to be stolen.
After a bait car is stolen, the location, speed, and direction of travel of the vehicle is monitored by police dispatchers at E-Comm through GPS tracking. Everything that takes place inside the bait car is caught on audio and video. The dispatcher will coordinate a police response and once officers are in position behind the bait car, the engine will be disabled at the click of a mouse button which allows for the quick arrest of the car thieves.

Jimmy Carter: Call Off the Global Drug War
In an extraordinary new initiative announced earlier this month, the Global Commission on Drug Policy has made some courageous and profoundly important recommendations in a report on how to bring more effective control over the illicit drug trade. The report describes the total failure of the present global antidrug effort, and in particular America’s “war on drugs,” which was declared 40 years ago today. It notes that the global consumption of opiates has increased 34.5 percent, cocaine 27 percent and cannabis 8.5 percent from 1998 to 2008.
