Other than being a part of the organic co-op (I think) she has no agricultural experience. Additionally, being an environmentalist does not mean you know a single thing about environmental science. I don't want to hear about a "fresh voice" or "from the bottom up", I want to hear science and reasoning. Prove me wrong, show you know something about what you are running for. We don't need another individual pushing low-flow toilets. Give me something to believe in!! COME ON Seminole Heights, don't vote for people just because they are Seminole Heights residents, we are not all great and, frankly, many of SH residents are crazy! One last thing, the environment is never going to be a primary election concern until all people have food in their mouth, a roof over their head, and the other basic needs of life (like Hummers, 24" wheels, etc.). By the way Tammy, you can mention you are part of the Green party, most people don't count them anyways!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1157513835373178172006-09-05T23:37:00.000-04:002006-09-05T23:37:00.000-04:00I'm not to off-put.

If you google my name, you are going to find out very quickly what group(s) I am involved with. Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe I will note that on my website since it might be off-putting to others as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1157085564320272112006-09-01T00:39:00.000-04:002006-09-01T00:39:00.000-04:00What is Tammy's background?

I think I would want someone who has more of a background in soil, environmental engineering, or conservation than what her own resume states on her site. <BR/><BR/>She majored in Religious Studies and minored in Anthropology! She may have a master's in public administration. However, she has used it to work *excuse me*, volunteer for a UNNAMED "community group" that champions environmental issues. She should be able to list this group. If she is really about bringing the government out of hiding maybe she could be up front with her background. I would vote for someone with real experience.<BR/><BR/>I just don't think we should vote for someone because they dwell in SH. I got one of her nice door hangings this week as well, but it is obvious that she is a bit inexperienced. <BR/><BR/>What gives David? I like organic food, 88.5, and taking out my blue recycling bin. Yet, I really don't think she will make a dent in this board. She is lacking in related experience and tactile results. Maybe when she works for and can produce results for residents outside of the Board, then I may consider voting for her. Until then, I can't really deny that other guy, Carlton, another round.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03492880553292718111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1156869579910919862006-08-29T12:39:00.000-04:002006-08-29T12:39:00.000-04:00I feel an environmental conservationist is exactly...I feel an environmental conservationist is exactly what an office that is supposed to 'conserve' our natural resources needs.<BR/><BR/>You are definitely correct that this position will have dealings with technical and scientific data and when I feel I need expert advice, I will seek out balanced advice and weigh it with my own research to help me make any decisions that I may not have firsthand knowledge of. <BR/><BR/>This position also has an environmental, public education facet to it as well. This is one of the main reasons why an environmentalist will be an asset to this position. I plan on disseminating information through this position on how we can all curb our own personal pollution and waste. <BR/><BR/>This position has been elected since 1946. Its a non-paid, part-time office. The Board plays an advisory role to the Soil and Water Conservation District. Also, the Board answers to the Hillsborough County Commission. Therefore, I plan on having some ground up influence on decisions that affect our natural resources that come up in front of the Commissioners for a vote. I will advise in favor of the environment. I don't believe that is radical or unrealistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1156860336796076402006-08-29T10:05:00.000-04:002006-08-29T10:05:00.000-04:00offensiveoffensiveDavid Scott Bangharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535473319051118500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1156858994014577542006-08-29T09:43:00.000-04:002006-08-29T09:43:00.000-04:00Scott..I sure would like to know what the comment ...Scott..I sure would like to know what the comment was that was deleted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1156778842280303672006-08-28T11:27:00.000-04:002006-08-28T11:27:00.000-04:00As someone who works in the environmental field, i...As someone who works in the environmental field, it's no place for the radical and unrealistic ideas of an environmentalist. The soil and water conservation district is a scientific and technical district and requires the services of those who have scientific and technical knowledge of water and soil conservation and agriculture. This is not an office that should be utilized for making a statement or changing the way politics run. In my opinion, this should not even be a elected position!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1156768672791697832006-08-28T08:37:00.000-04:002006-08-28T08:37:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1156736094523124792006-08-27T23:34:00.000-04:002006-08-27T23:34:00.000-04:00I'd like to know about Tammy's stance on Gay right...I'd like to know about Tammy's stance on Gay rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
