Tampa citizens to call for civilian review board to monitor police
Two years ago, officials at California State University-Fullerton produced a comprehensive report on police civilian oversight boards. Among their findings was that obstacles to creating a successful agency included politicians who have a “law and order” agenda not conducive to oversight — and, even if such an agency was created, the power that lawmakers have to limit their oversight powers through legislation or budgets. That’s just part of the institutional barriers that Tampa citizens who will be calling for such a board may face…

5 things I think about today’s St. Petersburg Times — and, yes, I did ‘out’ the new food critic
Just another bad day for the St. Petersburg Times, which failed to convince a federal judge that the city of St. Petersburg new ban on street solicitation should be blocked while the mater winds its way through the courts.

5 things I think I think about today’s St. Petersburg Times
You don’t realize how lacking for original commentary the St. Petersburg Times is until Howard Troxler goes on vacation. This is the Achilles Heal of the newspaper — the holes in its lineup of columnists. Sue Carlton is the Columnist Who Isn’t There and Ernest Hooper is, like the dude in this spoof of the New York Times, just a Cool Black Guy.
