Tampa Bay Buy The Damn Trains
The CSX presentation in September has fired up rail proponents, who see a gift-wrapped system that could move people from downtown Tampa through downtown Clearwater into downtown St. Petersburg, north through Pasco County as far as Brooksville in Hernando, with connections to the University of South Florida and Tampa International Airport. here

"Without a better transportation system, tourism in the Tampa area is likely to shrink from its current record levels and the region will lose its capacity to draw businesses to the urban core, according to two groups that promote economic development." Visit Tampa Bay and the Tampa Downtown Partnership. Maybe we need Jan Platt's solution!

PETA recently conducted an investigation into Primate Products, Inc. (PPI), and an eyewitness observed that workers violently handled monkeys—terrorizing them—and systemically neglected them. The notorious Hendry County, Florida, primate dealer imports, warehouses, and sells monkeys destined for experiments. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors confirmed PETA's findings, citing PPI for at least 25 violations of nine animal-welfare regulations.

But it’s not a joke. the daily high-water mark in the Miami area has been racing up at the rate of almost an inch a year, nearly ten times the rate of average global sea-level rise. here
