Corruption Scandal In Tampa
Beth Leytham
Documents obtained by 10 Investigates detail how a senior political adviser to Mayor Bob Buckhorn and other local leaders is wielding influence behind-the-scenes of City of Tampa and Hillsborough County business, potentially in violation of local and state ethics laws. And the politicians she’s closest to – including several county commissioners - have allowed it.

"Go Hillsborough, our transportation plan for the future of Hillsborough County, was awarded more than a million dollars (so far) with no-bid contract to Parson Brinckerhoff and Beth Leytham. Beth Leytham who outlined the no bid process to the county administrator has been paid $190,000 for her own part in the deal. Beth Leytham is not paid as a political consultant and registered as a lobbyist as she should be. Instead lucrative taxpayer contracts are steered her way so that taxpayers are footing the bill. In the case of Go Hillsborough it was a no-bid contract. That's just wrong."

Florida Inc.
It has become abundantly clear to Floridians that large corporations and wealthy individuals use state power to serve their own interests.
Amendment 1, passed in the last election, was approved by 75 percent of voters because they recognized that Gov. Rick Scott, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, water management districts and the Legislature have not protected our environmental resources; instead killing good growth management, intentionally dismantling and defunding environmental programs, and advancing bad water policies to accommodate corporate polluters. here

Welcome To Tampa Syrian Refugees
A week ago, our hearts were broken by the photo of a
little boy, drowned, lying alone in the sand.But new images of people with open
arms welcoming exhausted Syrian refugees the world over have begun to put our
hearts back together. The profound decency of ordinary folks is
driving governments to respond to this crisis.
----------
Now it's America's turn to act.
That's why MoveOn members and our friends are
launching AmericaWelcomes, an urgent national campaign to raise the number
of Syrian refugees admitted into the U.S. to at least 100,000 and to encourage
people in local communities across the country to open their hearts and extend a
welcome.
