Everglades Is Most Critically Endangered Site in US

Ever since white people moved to Florida, the Everglades has been under almost relentless assault. After being drained and developed, polluted with fertilizers, and overrun by invasive species, it's no secret that today the vast wetland is on life support. more

Meet Greg
He is from Crystal River

Are Straz And Guido Even?

Guido said he let Straz use his name as a courtesy because Straz has supported Maniscalco in the past, letting him use Straz’s name in campaigns. source
"It’s not an endorsement or pledge of any kind."

Guido Maniscalco's Brilliant Idea

Wants to discuss the parking minimums/requirements in 
downtown Tampa.
-----
The discussion I am aiming for would be to see how we could reduce or adjust the minimum parking requirements in the central business district. This would perhaps spur some development with some vacant buildings and office spaces to allow for more residential downtown, etc.
-----
As I have seen with my generation and younger, not everyone wishes to or owns a car. Some folks prefer to ride a bike or walk or use alternative methods of transportation. 

This would perhaps increase the residential population and density downtown, creating more of a live, work, play urban environment. here
-----
NO MOSI or more attractions, 
 we want affordable housing.


Let the suburbanites rush to the burbs.



Some of us perfer to stay here!

Florida GOP Newest Scam

The Constitution Revision Commission was created a half-century ago just so you, the Florida voter, would have a chance every generation to consider major changes to how the state is run.
-----
The folks in charge of the commission were chosen almost entirely by the governor, Senate president and House speaker. 
-----
 The folks on one committee approved a potential amendment that would repeal a ban on sending taxpayer money directly to religious institutions, including private schools. 
-----
 The Legislature put a similar amendment on the ballot in 2012. And it was defeated by voters.
-----
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try to scam the voters again.
