There is a growing fear among Florida politicos that disgraced former state Sen. Jack Latvala could use millions of dollars in remaining campaign funds to attack political foes that he believes orchestrated his ouster. here

The State Of Tampa Politics: Russell Hires
What was the state of Tampa politics in 2017? I’ll answer, but before I do, I want you to know that these are the things, really, that when you read this list, you realize that you could have written this. And by the way, I admit it. I can’t tell you much about the state of Tampa politics before 2017, but I can tell you what happened in 2017.
I did. I happened. I showed up. I participated. I became a leader. I did not wait for things to happen. I made things happen. I went to fund raisers. I donated to candidates. I went to meetings. I attended trainings. I talked, and I listened. I became involved in a campaign or two. I phone banked. I went knocking on doors. I became a member of the DEC. I voted. I gave voice to issues and ideas that I care about. I shouted from the rooftops! I persuaded. I was persuaded. I wrote to my member of the House. I wrote to my Senators. I called them, too. I went to the Women’s March. I went to other protests, too. I signed petitions. I asked other people to sign petitions. I sacrificed. I learned and I grew. I thought about this stuff way too much. I made many new friends, and lost a few. I went to the Florida Democratic Party Convention. I helped build and grow the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Tampa Bay.
The state of Tampa politics in 2017 is vastly improved, and by reading the list above, it’s because I/we/you did all of those things together. And we did them in greater numbers, with more voices, and more volume. We were heard loud and clear. Separately, I’m sure someone reading this did something valuable that isn’t on this list, and that should be celebrated. I’m proud of what we have achieved together, and I look forward to putting our hard work to the test in 2018 to get more Progressives in office, where they belong.

The State Of Tampa Politics: Kevin Beckner
For 2018-2019, I predict that the political climate in Washington and Tallahassee continues to grow increasingly toxic with partisan politics and it becomes increasingly difficult to pass progressive legislation. At the local level, however, opportunity abounds for passionate individuals who have a desire and unwavering commitment to serve their community as a member of the Hillsborough County Commission, School Board or Tampa City Council.

Clearwater Wants To Sell Our Land
This aerial view shows a 425-acre tract that the City of Clearwater is planning to sell in Hillsborough County. The vacant pasture land sits north and east of the Silver Dollar Shooters Club, along Patterson Road in the Odessa area. Complications are keeping the city from selling the land to Hillsborough County, which would preserve it for green space.

Instead, the likely buyer is a multibillion-dollar company that owns the shooters club and a neighboring RV park. here
