More Bullshit In Hillsborough County

The county paid a million dollars on focus groups, surveys and polls to tell them that more people would vote yes to a half cent sales tax hike than a full cent. 

And their research showed residents want to see more of that money spent building and repairing roads than improving public transportation.

See chart above. This is a lie.
we want rail.

Rail wasn't even on the survey form. They told us to write it in. Check out our post on April 29, 2015 of the last meeting. here, It was all a sham.

At that meeting in Temple Terrace we were told that light rail, opponent and local Tea Bagger Sharon Calvert attends every meeting, 
where were you?

Hillsborough County Commissioners don't waste our time
NO RAIL? NO NEW TAXES!

Miami Cop Antonio Torres Murders Homeless Man in Front Of 50 Children

Police say  two officers responded to an emergency call that a homeless guy 
(Fritz Severe) was “armed with a metal object” in front of dozens of children at a city park and that one, a 20-year veteran of the department, “confronted the subject and shot him 5 times.

Witnesses, however, said Severe, a homeless 45-year-old who was familiar to local residents in the Overtown neighbourhood, was posing no threat to the children or the two officers who approached him, and was only waving his walking stick at them. here

“He was a homeless man, wasn’t bothering nobody. The man walks around, we see him every morning with his stick, the same little stick that he had in his hand when the police officer shot him five times.” Nichelle Green

A second witness, Stephanie Severance, said: “They really didn’t have to shoot that man. What happened to the tasers? Why couldn’t they tase him?”

The Cuba Trade Act

Would finally end our outdated embargo policy and establish a new economic relationship with Cuba that will support increased trade for American businesses and help the Cuban economy and its people to flourish. here

66 percent of Americans favor ending the trade embargo. Latinos, in particular, believe the embargo should end with 73 percent favoring open trade. Many Republicans, and a few Democrats, oppose the Obama administration's push to reestablish relations with Cuba; most prominent among them is Florida Republican, Sen. Marco Rubio.

No Rail? No New Tax In Hillsborough County!

Mike Merrill is WRONG!

“Rail, per se, did not poll very well,” 
County Administrator Mike Merrill

When I atended the Go Hillsborough public input meeting in Temple Terrace on April 28th Rail wasn't even an option on my survey form. I was told to write it in on the back. It was all a sham.

As you can see on this chart Rail and 

Bike Lanes are our biggest priorities

Hillsborough County GOP Corruption

The wage theft ordinance

(Miami-Dade model)

pitched by Hillsborough County Commissioner 

Kevin Beckner was pushed aside by the five Republican members of the Hillsborough County Commission in favor of a watered down version that might cost the county more in the long run. They seem to favor an ordinance in Palm Beach County that sends $125,000 in public money to a local legal aid society to handle wage theft complaints. here

The Palm Beach model happens to be the one favored by the Florida Retail Federation, which lobbies on behalf of retailers and contacted
Hillsborough Commission Chair 

Sandy Murman 

before the debate over Beckner’s proposal.

"The vote against adopting the Miami-Dade model seems more grounded in appearances and in appeasing a powerful lobby." Tampa Tribune
