Transfer Cone Ranch to ELAPP

Selling public land at the very bottom of the market, for the lowest possible price, to private owners is a BAD idea that does not serve the interest of the People of Hillsborough County. ELAPP wants to buy Cone Ranch. The People of Hillsborough want ELAPP to buy Cone Ranch. The People of Hillsborough OWN Cone Ranch. Sell Cone Ranch to ELAPP.......here

From The Swamps Of Far Southern Florida

Jasen Bruce Should Stay Out Of Tarpon Springs

Your a piece of work, beating up on a 5'6" defenseless priest with a tire iron. Also, how can you be a Marine reserve and work the male circuit at the same time? Don't ask don't tell? Now the whole world knows.

Mark Weaver Strikes Back

It had become an embarrassment for me to be associated with
Kenneth Quinnell and his misnamed Florida Progressive Coalition
(Democratic Party front) Blog and Radio Show
Because of his and others sophomoric commentaries, naivete and ceaseless thoughtless promotion of
a Democratic Party that is dead wrong on so many issues. The FPC blog and radio were so compromised and lacking integrity they had become a joke.......Mark Weaver

Mark Weaver Ousted

I have removed Mark Weaver as a member of the Florida Progressive Coalition blog and radio station. The primary reasons for this are that Mark is working at direct odds with the endeavors that myself and others are working on, he is unwilling to work as part of a team, he has engaged in the use of extreme rhetoric against people who are allies and supporters of the blog and in his most recent post, he engaged in language that could easily be considered libel against a private citizen.......Kenneth Quinnell
