Friends Of Stogie

Dani

In Tampa

Dick Greco: Tampa’s Norman Rockwell

One local voter who shared his negative views on Greco would only give his first name out of fear Greco might win and somehow seek retribution; although settling a score seems highly un-like Greco.

“Tom” comes from a fifth generation Tampa family. He’s a small businessman who deeply cares about the community and has a strong and unflattering opinion about Greco’s previous four terms as mayor.

“He’s never done anything good for Tampa. He’s a good P.R. man and he likes to party, but he hasn’t done anything creative and has no vision. He’s spent our kids into poverty with all these bonds.
More On What Chris Ingram Has To Say.

Republican Charlie Crist Backs Mr. Greco.
