Is Tampa's Riverwalk Private Property?

We were there to take some pics of the 
"Float The Vote" event.

Tim Heberlein was there.


We thought we would help Pat out a little bit.
We put up our signs and were about 
to start passing out literature.

When these two guys came up. 
We were told by Jeremy and Alan that the Riverwalk is private property. It belongs to the City of Tampa? If the sidewalk is painted it is a "No Free Speech Zone."
They did allow us on the dock.

The Fractured And Weak Florida GOP

The Republican Party of Florida is fractured and weaker than it has been in quite some time," says Aubrey Jewett, an expert in Florida politics at the University of Central Florida.
