Save The South Coast Greenway Trail!

Connected with side trails to Sun City Center, Apollo Beach, Balm, Gibsonton, Riverview, and other communities; and connecting several schools, libraries and shopping centers. This trail would provide a safe system for alternative transportation — bicycles, skaters, baby-strollers, wheelchairs and pedestrians — IF we can persuade the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to get it built........here
Rail in Tampa Vs. Rail in China
In China they are putting the finishing touches on a 6.7 MW power generating solar roof for their new high speed rail station. While the mayor here argues whether it should be high speed rail vs. light rail to the airport, the Chinese happily knock out a state of the art facility that will probably shame whatever rail station we can scrape together. We might have money for a new baseball stadium but lets definitely think hard about getting people where they want to go.......hereMoving Hillsborough Forward

Dear Rep. Wasserman Schultz
The Cuban political dissidents were not forcibly deported and they have NOT been banished from their homeland. Please stop listening to South Florida Cuban-American hardliners who are intentionally misrepresenting the facts daily in a desperate attempt to advance their political agenda. Get the facts, madam, before you misrepresent them yourself. Your colleagues, constituents and the Cuban dissidents themselves deserve nothing less.here
