Coffee with Joe Kotvas

In the early eighties, Joe Kotvas was a well-respected County Commissioner with dreams of political grandeur. The former Tampa Police Officer and City Council Member had envisioned a future that led him to the White House. However, his ambitions were quickly shattered on February 1, 1983 when Kotvas was arrested by the FBI in what is perhaps one of the most infamous cases of corruption in local government.

Kotvas served 5 years of a 12-year sentence in federal prison for his part in taking bribes to secure favorable zoning votes. He has continuously maintained his innocence. The former County Commissioner has repeatedly declared that he was set up and framed on bribery and corruption charges as part of a witch hunt designed to put dozens of prominent people who did business with the government in prison.

Now at 75 years old, Kotvas is chasing his political dreams again. He hopes this time around that Hillsborough County residents will read his book and give him the chance to finish the job the FBI cut short 35 years ago.

How To Legalize Marijuana In Florida

Florida Welcome To The Far Far Right

Consider the Republican candidates for governor and their priorities.

Adam Putnam:  A proud NRA sellout and pledged he would sign a so-called “heartbeat bill, legislation that would make abortion illegal after a doctor can hear a fetus’ heartbeat. WTF! What about the victim of gun violence heartbeat?  

-----

Ron DeSantis: Trump's choice. Rather than campaign in Florida, DeSantis campaigns almost exclusively on Fox News. For weeks, he’s practically had a casting couch on Sean Hannity’s TV and radio shows.

-----

Richard Corcoran: For the last two years he has championed legislation that undercuts traditional public education and helps charter schools that educate only 10 percent of Florida students. Corcoran congratulated himself for the post-Douglas school safety bill that will add no new money for academics and leave school districts short as they comply with new rules on police officers.

If Leftists Follow The Tampa Model We Might Actually Have a Chance

I knew of no leftist organization that could match the tenacity, strength, and cunning of the average street gang. That wasn’t the point. I drove 180 miles into the heart of Tampa Bay to see whether or not the Left was capable of doing anything besides shitpost.

Elitist Straz’ TGH Tenure Proves He Protects the One Percenters, Not You

During the last 15 years or so, there has been a gradual erosion of pay and benefits at Tampa General Hospital (TGH), most acutely felt by the longest tenured employees, who also happen to be the most experienced and most highly skilled. Meanwhile, at the top of the TGH food chain, the story is quite different with ballooning benefits for principal administrators. The large payouts for executives coupled with the shrinking benefits of the average worker coincide with the tenure of stiff neck David Straz, Tampa mayoral candidate, on THe board of directors.

Words From Layla Hartz

For those of you who know me, you know that my father is from Iran and that we have a lot of family who live there. Which is why today is a terrifying day.

It’s no secret who John Bolton is and what is his ultimate goal in life. Cancelling the Iran deal is both astronomically stupid, but it also points to ambitions of war on the part of Trump and Netanyahu (and Saudi Arabia).

Today reminds me of 2002. Then, I wrote an article in the Daily Joklahoman outlining what a mistake invading Iraq was. I was met with retorts ranging from how unpatriotic I was to racist (get out of my country) responses. 

I was right.
I’m right today as well.
Trump is a menace to peace around the world.
