Most local music venues have been shut down for six months and as long as they can't welcome back large crowds, many are staying closed. Owners are pleading for financial help from all levels of government in the hopes that they can ward off permanent closure. HERE

Tampa City Councilman Luis Viera's Great Tour at Iron Workers Local 397
I am pushing for the City of Tampa to promote the use of apprenticeships in our contracting process. Apprenticeships in areas like iron work, welding, carpentry and electrical work, promote a pathway to economic security. Want to help fight the school to prison pipeline and promote a pipeline to the middle class for our young people? Then invest in these apprenticeship programs.
Sometime in November
City Legal will be coming back with
a draft ordinance.

Hillsborough County Corporate Welfare: $15.5 Million
On July 15, the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners, by a vote of 6 to 1, approved a proposal from the Tampa Sports Authority (TSA) to spend $10.4 million of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act money to implement Corona Virus safety measures at Raymond James Stadium.
The beneficiaries: the Tampa Bay Bucs, a highly profitable private company, who would be able to have more fans attend their games.
Well, we can’t have the Lightning and the Yankees (both also highly profitable private companies) feeling left out.
So early this month the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners, once again by a vote of 6 to1 (Stacy White being the only ‘no’ vote) approved a total of $4.1 million of CARES money for Amalie Arena and George M. Steinbrenner Field for safety improvements related to Corona Virus. $2.4 million will go to Amalie Arena and $1.7 million will go to Steinbrenner Field. MORE
The total of CARES money given to professional sports franchises in Tampa is now $15.5 million. One has to wonder how many small businesses in Hillsborough County, with legitimate and pressing needs, have been unable to get even a dime of this money.

“And the biggest reason why is Speaker Pelosi & Senator Schumer believe Trump & the GOP will be blamed for the pain doing nothing will cause & that will help them win the White House & Senate in November.” Marco Rubio HERE
