2022 Sydney Eastman Courage Award: Connie Burton

Connie deserves the Courage Award for her fearless truth telling. Her exposure of corruption in City Hall and among our CRA’s is vital to our community. She has long been a freedom fighter that the working people of Tampa need.

Michael Bishop: Why I Support Connie Burton

I had been following local government at all levels and trying to find where I could offer some help. What ever that looked like. Two failed attempts later in mid-January I reached out to an old mutual friend to introduce me to Connie Burton. On February 11 I reached out to Ms Burton to offer my help in any way I could on the issues she was fighting for. here
