Equality Florida says St. Pete’s next Mayor will be either Bill Foster or Scott Wagman

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Sorry Kathleen Ford, you may be leading in the polls, with most political insiders predicting Ford is all but guaranteed a place in the General Election, but Equality Florida’s Nadine Smith says St. Pete’s next Mayor will be either Bill Foster or Scott Wagman. In a post on the Equality Florida blog, the normally intelligent Smith seems to forget about the front-running Ford, painting the mayoral campaign in rather stark terms: “The city’s next mayor will either be Scott Wagman…

Where was the Police Chief or members of his command? Where were the…

Angela Rouson sends out the cutest mailpiece of the campaign

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Okay, okay, there is not a lot of high-level policy discussed in Angela Rouson’s latest mailpiece, but I think that is the point. Evoking a similar effort by her husband during his campaign, this mailpiece reminds voters about the best aspect of Angela Rouson, her compassionate mothering of five young men. Because in this day and age, if Angela can keep five young men in line, she should have no problem with Leslie Curran and Wengay Newton. Great photography, nice…
