in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

In St. Petersburg today — St. Petersburg, Russia, that is — Vladimir Putin reappeared in public for the first time in 11 days, ending the rumors of a Kremlin coup or even his own death. This isn’t the first time that the Russian leader has dropped out of society for awhile, and the sh*t really starts to build up for Putin, who has been in charge in one way or another since 1998. The negative news of late was the recent murder…

Guido Maniscalco & Jackie Toledo fight for momentum in Tampa City Council race

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Guido Maniscalco was on the campaign trail Sunday morning — just not that early. The change in Daylight Saving Time meant that the 30-year-old Democrat made sure he didn’t alienate potential voters by knocking on doors before noon. He was out and about, though, with more volunteers than ever to help him. He’s been given a second life but has a little more than two weeks to close his 17-percentage point gap behind Jackie Toledo. His 38-year-old opponent came in first…

Yesterday was quite a day news wise. But before we talk City Council races, how about that Hillsborough County School District Board? They did it again yesterday — going against the sentiments  of the editorial writers and newspaper columnists who demanded they take on a national search to succeed MaryEllen Elia as the district’s superintendent.
