Or one of his staffers with access to his social media did. Or he told them to. In any case, I can’t view any of Buckhorn’s tweets. And this guy is rumored to be gunning for the Governor’s mansion. Rick Scott may be slimy, but at least he doesn’t go blocking every reporter who refers to him as Skeletor or Voldemort. here
"Sorry I was forced to leave early. (Legislative Delegation @ Amalie Arena) The Delegation did their damnedest to insure we went last, and even cut our time to just one minute. I wanted to direct my comments at
Jeff Brandes who is an arrogant bully and doesn't deserve our respect. He looked me straight in eye and lied about the TBX costing only $3B and that it would pay for itself. He claims, "people are coming, we need to add capacity". Follow the money on this, someone is getting a kickback. It's shameful." Mario Nunez

Big news for ferries in Tampa Bay. The City of St. Petersburg is taking the lead to establish St. Pete to Tampa service during the tourist season. They have set aside $350,000 of BP spill funds to match it. It's a great use of BP funds, which are supposed to compensate for economic harm in our region resulting from the BP spill. So we could see seasonal ferry service running on weekends and evenings starting in 11 months and while the National NCAA Football Championship is here. This could be a big boost to getting the MacDill-South County commuter back in the fast lane. Many thanks to Mayor Kriseman and the St. Petersburg City Council for their unanimous support for this bold move! here
