YBOR Gentrification

Slowly but very surely, Historic Ybor City is being infected by gentrification. The Tampa Park Apartments at the southwest corner of 7th Avenue and Nuccio Parkway has opted to end their Section 8 contract with HUD and is in the process of evicting tenants who rely on government assistance (article HERE). This property is immediately north of the site where the new Rays stadium was, and still is, proposed to be built. Currently secret negotiations are still ongoing between the Rays franchise owners, St. Petersburg and the Tampa Sports Authority and the plan was originally to develop about 4 million square feet of properties surrounding the stadium and, I'm sure that is still in the fix. That 4 million square feet would include everything from 6th Ave. south to Adamo Dr. and Nuccio Pkwy. west to 22nd St., basically everything south of 7th Ave.

Just because you can't see it now, doesn't mean the RAYBOR beast isn't just over the horizon.

Happy Holidays from the Stogie!

Happy Holidays to my friends who follow the Ybor City Stogie! Together, we are helping to empower progressives and leftist community, in Tampa & beyond!

What Holidays are you going to celebrate, if any? I personally will celebrate Hanukkah — as I do so, I will commemorate the sacrifices of great leftists from history; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Bayard Rustin, Eugene Debs, Emma Goldman; as well as the iconic leftists and liberals of today; Bernie Sanders, Noam Chomsky, Elizabeth Warren, Dennis Kucinich, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ro Khanna, Andrew Yang, and many others!

Which leftists would you like to highlight this Holiday Season? What do you think about the presidential primary election and the various local elections? Who should run, who should we support, and why?

Cheers, and have a safe, happy, healthy Holiday Season!

May the god of your choice (or scientific alternative) bless you!

Advice for Florida Senators From Republican Jeff Flake

Courageous GOP Senator Jeff Flake addressed his old Republican colleagues, saying,
"President Trump is on trial. But in a very real sense, so are you. And so is the political party to which we belong." He warns that, "the danger of an untruthful president is compounded when the coequal branch follows that president off the cliff, into the abyss of unreality and untruth... If there ever was a time to put country over party, it is now. And by putting country over party, you might just save the Grand Old Party before
 it’s too late." HERE

Hillsborough County GOP Chairman Jim Waurishuk

 Blasted the impeachment vote, saying that any member of Congress who did so “is showing how deeply they revile the voters and how truly they detest America’s Constitutional order.”

---

On Trumps letter to Nancy Pelosi, he 
said it was “spot on.

---

He went on to add that the greatest consequence of the pursuit of bringing down Trump “will be the complete and utter destruction of the current Democrat Party.”

Is perhaps one of the last nails in their party’s coffin.

Mr. Waurishuk you do know you guys 
are looking like fools right?

Florida GOP Rick Scott's Conscience is Clear

• Rick Scott says he has little doubt President Trump will stay in office for the remainder of his term despite impeachment proceedings. The Florida Republican, a key Trump ally, says much of the Democrats’ arguments stem from “hearsay” and falsities. “The bottom line is, this is an impeachment trial and you have to think of it that way,” Scott says. “My conscience is clear.” HERE

Sane Floridans Beware

For Every New Registered Democrat In Florida This Year, Republicans Have Added Two HERE

---

Despite much-publicized efforts by the Florida Democratic Party and its allies, state data shows Republicans in the swing state are far outpacing Democrats when it comes to the raw number of registered voters.

"While Democrats are busy coming up with fabricated voter registration numbers, impeachment conspiracy theories, and radical socialist policies that would raise taxes and kill jobs, the RNC and Trump Campaign are lapping the Democrats on every front: organizing, fundraising, volunteer training, registering voters, and more,” said Trump Victory Spokesperson Emerson George.

Cold Weather Shelters To Open Tonight
