The Beginning Of The End Of The Gillum Campaign
Andrew Gillum, who exploded onto the national political scene with a meteoric victory in the 2018 Florida Democratic gubernatorial primary, was the immediate favorite to win it all
on Nov. 6.
on Nov. 6.
---
The stars aligned but only briefly. Gillum’s role as favorite evaporated within the first week of the general election campaign and the blame falls squarely on the candidate—not ballot counting snafus, not an FBI investigation, not racial innuendo employed by the opposition.
---
The ex-mayor of Tallahassee made two fateful decisions: choosing fifth-place primary finisher Chris King, a philosophical clone, as his running mate and allowing the incompetent, impotent Florida Democratic Party to co-opt his campaign apparatus.
The Death of Ybor?
This is the monstrosity the Rays franchise plans to build at the west end of Ybor City, just south of the low income apartments. The apartments will ultimately be demolished to make space for hotels and entertainment for the baseball fans and the business establishments along 7th and 8th Avenues will be forced to sell out to national franchises such as Hooters, Beef O'Brady's, Old Navy and Starbucks. The community we know of as Ybor will be gone forever.
As it looks right now, our County Commission may be making this irreversible decision next month.
Florida What If?
This whole election mess was a False Flag and the GOP created it because they knew they were going to lose. After all a chance is better then no chance.
---
Consider this, all polls pointed to a Gillum win. Turnout was high which is always
good for Dems.

Ken Hagan Racketeering Charges?
For years, county commissioner Ken Hagan has been negotiating a new Rays stadium behind closed doors, going so far to preserve secrecy that he refused to turn over public records even when the law required it.
---
However, the secret details of where Hagan and the Rays were planning to put a new stadium were not secret to every member of the public – one key developer was given access to the information that should have been
available to all.
available to all.
---
The developer used that information to buy land at a discounted rate, put himself in position to profit off the new stadium announcement, then became a significant contributor to Commissioner Hagan’s re-election campaign. At no time were Hagan’s fellow commissioners – or members of the public who requested the public documents – provided the maps. MORE
---
"This arrangement to have Ken Hagan represent the entire Commission in negotiations with the Rays was approved by the BOCC before I became a commissioner. After I became a commissioner, I objected to this arrangement and urged that the County Adminstrator represent the BOCC in these negotiations instead. The only other commissioner in support of me was Comm. Stacy White." Pat Kemp
