in The Bay and the 'Burg by

David McKalip, the now disgraced doctor who sent out a racist email depicting President Obama as a tribal witch doctor, has an extensive record of contributions to Florida politicians and political causes.

I love going to the forums, I think they hate when I show up and make the likes of Leslie Curran quiver with discomfort.

The rationale for this unprecedented action (seriously) had something to do with Beverly…

Jamie Bennett files amended report — again

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

The City Clerk’s office just called me with news that Jamie Bennett is filing an amended campaign treasurer’s report for the last fundraising period.
