On the undercard of this November’s municipal elections are five races for the St. Petersburg City Council that range in intensity from the very exciting to the very boring.

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.
