Rick Scott Does Not Speak For Orlando
Representative Scott Randolph blasted Governor Rick Scott’s decision to return more than $2 billion already set aside for Florida’s high speed rail project.“I thought Governor Rick Scott wanted to put Floridians back to work. Here we are two months into his term and the only thing he has done is propose budget cuts that put middle-class Floridians out of work, now he’s turning down funded projects that would directly create jobs."
“Let me be clear: Governor Rick Scott does not speak for me, nor does he speak for the district I represent."
Required Reading List for Tampa’s Next Policy Makers
"I see the 2011 City Elections as a crossroads for Tampa. We can continue along a path towards a continuous erosion of our quality of life and a gradual economic death OR we can take stock of where we are at in the beginning of the 21st century and how to begin to make our city a more sustainable, livable, pleasant place to exist for us and for future generations."......Kelly BenjaminAwake The State
The people who teach Florida's future generations deserve better. No Florida public employee deserves a pay cut or a less secure retirement while billions exist in tax loopholes throughout our state's tax code.info

Kelly Benjamin Responds To Times Pick In District 6
Dear Times Editorial Board,I can’t help but feel you’ve made a colossal mistake in your choice for the next Tampa City Councilmember in District 6 but everyone’s entitled to their own opinion and I won’t hold it against you. However, one thing struck me in your endorsement:
“Benjamin is unable to make a convincing argument for succeeding Miranda.”

Mayor Dave For Our Wonderful City Of Tampa
Dave's Imaginary Mayoral Platforminfo
A Stogie Favorite, "Free bicycles for all. Working with various advocacy and charitable groups across the city I will establish a non-profit that focuses on giving bicycles to everyone.
The best way to reduce bicycle fatalities in Tampa is to
make them so common-place that it becomes second-nature for drivers to look out for cyclists."
I can't wait to see that...

A Case For My Favorite Beer
YuenglingBesides being delicious, it is brewed here in Tampa. I bet those workers appreciate us drinking their beer. Anheuser-Busch dosn't brew beer here anymore. They are not even owned by an American company.
You are sending your money to Belgian and Brazil.
Yuengling is the oldest operating brewing company in the United States.
Help your neighbor keep his job. Drink Local.

20 Year Old Christina Perenzuela Of Tampa
Along with Armando Perez Jr., 34, also of Tampa Are racing on Fletcher Ave and kill Robert J. Niebalec, of Temple Terrace, who was riding his bicycle east on Fletcher on the paved shoulder. How Sad!
here
"It has been my experience that the motorists are very aggressive and there is generally disrespect of bicyclists by motorists, What's sad is there is nothing inherently dangerous about riding a bicycle.
The mere act of riding a bicycle shouldn't cost you your life.
Unfortunately that is the case in the Tampa Bay area."......Alan Snel

Ed Turanchik and InTown Homes
Re-Discovering West TampaTuranchik took note of West Tampa during his failed bid to bring the 2012 Olympic Games to Tampa. In 2000 and 2001 Turanchik–a former county commissioner–and a group of supporters lobbied to bring the games to Tampa Bay, scouting possible event locations. Part of the plan called for an Olympic Village to be constructed on North Boulevard. That’s when West Tampa caught his eye. “It just has good bones,” he says of the 110-year old community.

Dick Greco's Panty Raid
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
