Stop Greco!
"I was there when we had problem in 1967, walked the streets with racial unrest. But this is a very friendly, very loving city. Even back during the riots, if somebody wanted to hurt somebody, they could have. They didn't. It was more like a panty-raid type thing. I was there, I was on the street."......Dick Greco

"Dick just said the first time he was mayor, he made HCC take the land to stop "them" from building more low housing projects like they did on Nuccio. Ybor is a jewel. Seriously blacks in Tampa this man keeps telling us to kiss his ass. And we have some dumb asses supporting this man.".....Ella K. Coffee
