Pinellas Stonewall Democrats re-issue press release endorsing Scott Wagman, only this time they blast Bill Foster

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

On the organization’s website, the Pinellas Stonewall Democrats have re-issued their press release endorsing Scott Wagman for Mayor of St. Petersburg. You’ll notice the Stonewalls continue to misleadingly frame this election as a battle against Foster. They are trying to drive turnout for Scott Wagman by making Foster out as the bogeyman. The Stonewalls don’t have to like Foster and Foster hasn’t been a friend to the gay community. But, by attacking Foster for Wagman, all the Stonewalls are really…

What we did not hear from the Saint Petersburg Mayoral Candidates

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

As the race to be St. Petersburg’s next Mayor winds down, I have been surprised not only by some of the things the candidates did say, but also by some of the things they did not say. We did not hear Kathleen Ford personally attack Rick Baker. Instead, Ford used softer, generic terms, like “the current administration” to criticize the status quo. We did not hear Bill Foster talk about his conservative values. For all the criticism he endures for…

Bill Foster targeted in new mailer

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

From the Bay Buzz, which doled out hat tip to me for the image I gave the Times: Bill Foster is the target of a mailer criticizing his tax record while on the City Council. The mailer, which is apparently paid for by a group that calls itself the Committee for Responsible Representation, says Foster voted to increase city property taxes 64 percent from 1999 to 2006. The mailer also says Foster accepted a 40 percent pay raise in 2005…

The PBA’s, I mean Bill Foster’s, mail-piece about the PBA supporting Bill Foster

in Uncategorized by

No one ever accused Bill Foster of being extravagant, but you’d think he could spring for a little more in production costs when he printed this mail-piece. It’s like 5″ x 7″. This postcard is way too small and since it is being delivered on Junk Mail Wednesday, it’s bound to end up in the garbage. That’s a shame because the mail-piece delivers an important message about Foster being endorsed by both the PBA and the FOP. In an election…

Bill Foster pulls ahead of field in latest poll

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

The mayor’s election is a four-way horse race, with more than a third of voters still undecided, a new St. Petersburg Times/Bay News 9 poll shows. Less than a week before the Sept. 1 primary, Bill Foster, Kathleen Ford, Deveron Gibbons and Scott Wagman have separated themselves from the 10-candidate pack. Foster led with 17 percent, followed by Ford and Gibbons with 13 percent each, and Wagman in fourth at 10 percent, according to a poll of 600 St. Petersburg…

Harsh reaction to St. Petersburg Times’ recommendation of Bill Foster for Mayor from Tampa Bay’s progressive community

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Call it The Endorsement Heard ‘Round The ‘Burg. In what some St. Pete insiders view as pure Machiavellian journalism, if not a complete sell-out of its core beliefs, The St. Petersburg Times, one of the nation’s best liberal newspapers endorsed, err…”recommended” is the preferred term, Bill Foster, an anti-evolution, anti-gay candidate. As Wayne Garcia of Creative Loafing writes: Actually, the Foster recommendation should come as no surprise to Times’ readers who observed the editorial board’s changing tone ever since Tim…
