					<description><![CDATA[An eight-person field has narrowed to Justin Bean and Gina Driscoll in the St. Petersburg City Council District 6 race. They will face off in 10 weeks to succeed term-limited Karl Nurse. Robert Blackmon came in an extremely close third, behind Driscoll by only four votes, setting off an automatic recount. As of Tuesday evening, Bean received just over 21 percent of the vote (1,442 votes of 6,822 cast); Driscoll, the 46-year-old president of the Downtown Neighborhood Association who works as a sales manager at the Hampton&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Uhuru-backed St. Petersburg mayoral candidate Jesse Nevel heard complaints from some Rick Kriseman supporters saying his involvement in the primary election has divided the progressive vote and will help Rick Baker win the election. Nevel rejects those charges. &#8220;We&#8217;re not splitting the progressive vote, we&#8217;re proving to be the only progressive vote on the ballot,&#8221; says the 27-year-old Miami native, one of six candidates on the ballot. &#8220;If we weren&#8217;t running in this election, the only progressive vote would be not&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[An eight-person field in the St. Petersburg District 6 City Council race will become a two-person race after Tuesday night. But it&#8217;s far from certain who those two candidates will be, at least until returns begin trickling in starting 7 p.m. In fact, that&#8217;s why St. Pete Polls guru Matt Florell admits he hasn&#8217;t done much polling on the race. While Florell held an unscientific poll earlier this month, there were no clear front-runners — and &#8220;undecideds&#8221; were in the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although the item was removed from the St. Petersburg City Council&#8217;s agenda, a number of citizens came before Council members and Mayor Rick Kriseman Thursday to express discontent with the decision to lease and operate the historic Manhattan Casino to the Callaloo Group. Leading Callaloo is Ramon Hernandez, operator of Pipo&#8217;s Cuban restaurants, who intends to offer a &#8220;Floribbean&#8221; fusion restaurant at the Casino. Kriseman&#8217;s choice smacks of gentrification, as another &#8220;urban displacement project,&#8221; said state Rep. (and former Council member) Wengay Newton.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Activist Jae Pass is not backing down from her criticism of the Tampa Police Department&#8216;s at a vigil Sunday evening in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Things got so heated that it prompted an early exit from Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren. The rally was at Joe Chillura Courthouse Square, across the street from the Confederate monument that has engulfed Hillsborough County politics this summer. Before introducing a representative from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Pass criticized&#8230;]]></description>
