Boycott Proponents of Taxpayer Subsidized Rays Stadium

Remember this?
-----
George W. Bush and the Texas Rangers
When he bought the team, the Rangers were playing in an old minor-league stadium. It didn’t have the fancy sky boxes and other amenities that helped make other franchises much more profitable. As a result, the team couldn’t compete with other big-city teams for good players. But the new owners weren’t willing to finance the construction of a new ballpark. They decided to hit up taxpayers for the money.
-----
First, the new owners threatened to move the team out of Arlington, Texas, sending local officials scurrying to put together a deal they couldn’t refuse. Under the resulting agreement, the taxpayers of Arlington would raise $135 million, the bulk of the cost of construction, through a hike in sales taxes. During a campaign to sell the sales tax increase to Arlington voters, then-mayor Richard Greene said the team owners would put $50 million of their own money into the deal up front. It didn’t quite work out that way; the owners raised a hefty portion of their down payment from fans, through a one dollar surcharge on tickets. 

The city spent $150,000 on an advertising campaign to persuade voters. Opponents of the deal couldn’t compete with glossy brochures, telemarketing calls, and a “Hands Around Arlington Day.” On Jan. 19, 1991, citizens of Arlington voted two-to-one to approve a sales-tax increase dedicated to building the new park. here

And this: Minnesota taxpayers, $348 million — or about $616 million, including interest over three decades.  here

Las Vegas for the Raiders?  $750 million taxpayer subsidy. here

Rays Hoopla Has Started In Ybor



Beware Tampa/Hillsborough 
we are about  to get screwed!

The main drivers of the stadium are Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan who has enriched his developer friends during his 16-year tenure in office, and the Tampa Bay Times that has at least two “investors,” Jeff Vinik and Darryl Shaw, who will make a real estate windfall into the hundreds of millions.
-----
Mr. Mayor we don't use pencils on this side and there won't be any burden on taxpayers because taxpayers aren't giving you, Ken Hagan, The Rays or MLB nothing.
Do the math, We did

Progressive Andrew Gillum For Governor Of Florida

Gwen Graham has the thinnest resume of the three candidates: one term as a Congresswoman representing a battleground Big Bend district.  Her definition of “reaching across the aisle” meant voting often with the Republicans such as favoring the Keystone 
XL Pipeline. 
-----
Andrew Gillum’s name recognition will increase as he travels the state and articulates the progressive values of the Democratic party.  With the FBI investigation behind him, he can energize Millennials, Latinos, African Americans, progressives of all backgrounds, and mainstream Democrats who are yearning for a charismatic candidate with ideas that don’t clone Republican policies and platform.
-----
It happened at a December community meeting in Tampa.   Gillum’s remarks were met with enthusiastic applause; the energy didn’t end with the formal meeting as young adults surrounded him outside the meeting room for conversation and photo ops. The positive reaction to Gillum’s appearance by Millennials is key to Democratic aspirations statewide.
-----
Millennials and Gen Xers made up 50 percent of the voters in 2016, but their turnout was only 59 percent compared to 75 percent for all voters statewide. more

Rays Coming To Ybor

Fake News: Our fearless leader Corporate Welfare king Commissioner Ken Hagan and his corporate cronies will unveil a plan to build us a new Rays stadium in Ybor. 
-----
Beware the catch! "The guarantee of sponsorships and ticket sales will be a major factor in how much the team will contribute toward a stadium." 
-----
Hillsborough County taxpayers will not have to hand out a dime for construction of the new stadium or the surrounding infrastructure.
-----
Thank you Mr. Hagan and your corporate friends. To us Tampeños who don't like baseball this will be a great addition to our beloved Ybor!

Gwen Graham’s Minions Spreading Propaganda

Florida gubernatorial hopeful Gwen Graham, her operatives, and allies view Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum as her primary threat for the Democratic nomination and are attempting to marginalize him through a nasty 
whisper campaign.
-----
Her minions are not so subtly telling Democratic voters that Gillum is one of the targets in the FBI investigation of City of Tallahassee contracts.  That rumor, fueled by Graham’s operatives in Democratic circles has filtered into social media.  Gillum’s lack of involvement has been chronicled but the Graham campaign, along with her Times ally perpetuate an outdated, discredited story.
-----
Graham’s media ally, the Tampa Bay Times reported the fiction.  Former senator and governor Bob Graham, Gwen’s father, sits on the board of the Poynter Foundation.  The Poynter Institute is the majority stockholder in the Tampa Bay Times.
