Meanwhile various parts of the city, including Seminole Heights, needed flood control improvements (gutters, drains, etc.) She managed to pull that together even after Grecco's shenanigans. <BR/><BR/>2) Restored the feeling (or illusion of the feeling, depending on how half-full your glass is) that the residents and neighborhoods actually matter. Under the prior administration, with people like Steve Labrake, it was abvious the monnied developers were the only constintuency that mattered.<BR/><BR/>There's two, I'll let others fill in more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-50012306732425672662007-02-26T10:00:00.000-05:002007-02-26T10:00:00.000-05:00Can someone answer one queston?

I think this is one area where our vaunted diversity works against us. A "rock the vote" thing is great, but in order to make it work (this late in the game I doubt you can) you'll need to target your message differently at each major sub-culture in the neighborhood. <BR/><BR/>I know it's not terribly PC to say such things but that doesn't make it any less true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-53707047021274190382007-02-25T10:55:00.000-05:002007-02-25T10:55:00.000-05:00SH needs to coordinate a "Rock the Vote" campgaign...SH needs to coordinate a "Rock the Vote" campgaign. We are the largest neighborhood in the City of Tampa (all three groups) our voice can definately make a differnce. <BR/><BR/>While I know Mayor Iorio will win, I plan on campaigning against her to send a message. I am tired of her ignoring the city and focusing too much resources and dollars on Downtown and Park building. Meanwhile, I can't take my daughter to my own park that has been under construction for 6 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-14067833671617924482007-02-22T09:06:00.000-05:002007-02-22T09:06:00.000-05:00Why are you comparing Obama to Gwen?

Chavez and Jenkins are from So. Tampa and Barcena thinks he is. I was told by several people who live in South Tampa that South Tampa will decide allo the elections as they always do. That is enoughto make me vote for Randy. It's time the rest of us had a say! Besides he's good. He's the only one who seems to know that cutting taxes means some expense has to go.Bungalowladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268753697043633893noreply@blogger.com
