How to spend a $7.9 million surplus. 
-----
Murman, wants the surplus to go immediately toward fixing roads. She threatened to keep commissioners there all day with motions to allocate the money for transportation and questioned their commitment to solving the problem.

"You guys, is transportation important? 
I mean, really." Murman
-----
 "If transportation was such a high priority for Commissioner Murman, with all due respect, she should have supported the referendum (to raise the sales tax)." Ken Hagan

Corporate Welfare: Hillsborough County Pays $350,000 For 30 New Jobs

The exemption for NewSouth Window Solutions would save the company nearly $50,000 a year in ad valorem taxes and cost the county nearly $350,000 in lost revenue over the seven-year proposal. In return, NewSouth would have to create at least 30 new jobs in Hillsborough County. here
-----------
The Hillsborough County Commission
unanimously approved 
this giveaway!
---------
“This is a great story of a manufacturer expanding in our community,” said Hillsborough County Commissioner Sandra Murman.
Murman said criticism to past incentives stemmed from a lack of accountability. The NewSouth deal would require the company to create at least 30 jobs or the deal is off.

Tampa Bay's Culture Of Corruption

Many of the politicians who decide how many tax dollars will go to benefit Tampa Bay’s professional sports franchises are also accepting free tickets to those teams’ games.   Tributes also include beer, wine, liquor, and a number of casual food items such as burgers and Cuban sandwiches.  Occasionally, crab cakes and sushi may be added. And access to politically-influential business leaders is always on the menu.
