Stogie's All Star County Commission

Jan Platt - Pam Iorio - Kevin Beckner - Linda Saul-Sena - Ed Turanchik
Imagine, a county full of mass transit, bike paths, pedestrian friendly, jobs, our environment protected, the homeless problem resolved with compassion. We need people who can look beyond their own stupidity, people with vision of the future. People who look out for everyone, not just the few. Who knows, we could get mention in the same breath as, Miami, Atlanta even New Orleans. Instead we are nothing but what the late great Neil Rogers use to call us a nose-picking town. We might even get a cool nickname.

Republicans enjoy a super majority on the Hillsborough County Commission,

and they look intent on keeping it.

These People Are Shameless.
