Our Case For Andrew Gillum
Tallahassee mayor and Gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum has all the ingredients of a winner: a visionary platform, name recognition, a new savvy finance chairman, and charisma. Oh, and he is African-American.
-----
Gillum electrifies the demographic that is vital to Democrats, especially in off-year elections.
-----
None of Gillum’s opponents in the Democratic primary would be able to come within light years of what he is capable of achieving in a general election.

Tanja Vidovic And The Good Old Boys At The Tampa Fire Rescue Department
They tried to shut her up. They tried to make her go away. They made her life miserable. Yet Tanja Vidovic — persisted.
-----
Her sin? Wanting to be treated with civility, professionalism and respect.
-----
She was just awarded $245,00 in her federal lawsuit against the city of Tampa. They could of simply cut Vidovic a check, give back her job and fire the dolts who caused her so much grief. Instead, the city went ahead to trial.
-----
