Tampa Fake Hepatitis A Scare

Hamburger Mary’s owner Kurt King accused Hillsborough County health officials of inciting a fake Hepatitis A scare and shared test results he says proves his worker never tested positive for the disease.

---

“I want to know why the health department did this to me.” 

---

“Over 400 people in the state of Florida have Hepatitis A,” said King. “Where do they all work at? Why weren’t they put on the news? Why weren't their restaurants and businesses destroyed like mine? That’s what 
I want to know.”

---

“I think they targeted us because we’re a gay restaurant, gay-owned, popular 
gay restaurant.” HERE

Dr. Douglas Holt, head of the Hillsborough County Health Department, insists the public has no right to know the names of those four restaurants with 
infected workers. HERE

Reach For The Sky - The Sky Is The Limit

During the past few months, I took time to not only assist other local candidates in their political races while continuing to help the community, but to also reflect on what is still needed in Hillsborough County: affordable housing, climate justice, adequate care for the houseless community and basic civil services that marginalized communities still lack.

As an outspoken mother, organizer and nurse, my priority has always been people, which is why I've decided to not give up on representing the under-represented and run for County Commission District 3. Many of you were a huge part of my campaign and helped us to build a strong grassroots foundation while building immense power and recognition on a bare bones budget. I'm asking you to rally behind once again. Giving up was never an option! If you’re just as excited as I am and want to get involved, send our Facebook page a message and the team will reach out to you and plug you in. Sky U. White

Ed Turanchik's "GO PLAN" Roll Out January 7, 2019

During the roll out of his GO PLAN, Ed Turanchik presented some very innovative and creative ways to modernize the Hillsborough area transit system.

What he didn't do was address the serious needs of the citizens who already use the present transit system, who rely on it on a daily basis, who are seriously inconvenienced by an ineffective and poorly structured system, who are the existing base of customers whose needs must be met before any talk of greenway corridors, fast transit to Disney World, driverless trams or ferries.
