Hope In Humanity @ USF
The Tampa Bay
Street Medicine Team
For a year and a half, about a dozen students from the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine have met biweekly on a graffiti-covered parking lot at Franklin and Estelle streets before fanning out to deliver free medical care to the homeless.
The Tampa Bay Street Medicine Team,
modeled after groups across the country, brings a supervising volunteer physician, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner from the college to help in extreme cases, but the rest is left to the students. here

After 50 Years Miami Cubans Finally Figure It Out
----------
A group of Cuban-American business people, almost all from Miami, quietly traveled to the island to see for themselves what, if anything, had changed. Most of the 10 men — even a couple of otherwise staunch conservatives — returned convinced
that stronger ties to the U.S. would help Cubans. here
Rick Scott's Florida Criminal Justice System
As other states reformed their criminal justice systems in the past year to reduce their prison populations by updating their sentencing laws and establishing new programs for the re-entry of offenders, Florida remained on the sidelines, according to a new report from the bipartisan U.S. Justice Action Network. here

Sandy Murman's Tea Party Advisors
Murman became a no vote on the Go Hillsborough referendum. She has another idea, well it closely reflects ideas and even language put forth by tea party members and a prominent anti-tax activist from
Pinellas County. here
----------
Tea Party activists, who had been imploring county commissioners to shut down Go Hillsborough and forget the sales tax, cheered Murman’s bold move.
----------
“Sandy, I can’t tell you how proud of I am of your stepping out to lead on the transportation issue. It is fantastic. Thank you for your courage and your dedication to finding the best way for the county." Ken Roberts, Tea Party
Roberts had every reason to be proud. Murman’s plan borrowed heavily from one he had been shopping to commissioners for months.
No Show Marco Rubio
A day after suggesting he may try to hold up a massive spending deal, Rubio skipped the vote all together. here

SPB: Bob Buckhorn Scandals
"The day after the 2014 elections, Buckhorn all but declared that he would run for governor in 2018. In fact, the Tampa mayor entered 2015 as the de facto frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. That was then; this is now. After a series of troubling scandals, including revelations that his police department disproportionately targeted black residents and that one of his chief political advisers, Beth Leytham, is nothing less than the Rasputin of Riverwalk, many Democrats now wonder if Buckhorn will even run in 2018. Meanwhile, his lackluster fundraising for his political committee, expected to be a vehicle for a 2018 run, isn’t inspiring much confidence."
Marco Rubio: The Sheldon Adelson Primary
The "Sheldon Adelson primary" winner will land a prize worth tens of millions in financial support. Rubio has avidly courted the casino magnate, sitting down with him privately numerous times, including a dinner in Washington weeks before launching his campaign in April. here
