in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Welcome to the first full day of fall, Florida style. Now maybe it will actually start to feel like a different season in say, about a month from now? Speaking of the weather, good luck to the student-athletes at USF and Florida State University who will be playing in the excessively hot and humid conditions at high noon on Saturday at Raymond James Stadium. Or should I say, good luck to the fans who will be sitting under that unforgiving…

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Contrary to speculation, independent Joe Redner says he “absolutely” is not about to end his candidacy in the state Hillsborough County Senate District 18 race, declaring that “I’m just getting started.” The perennial candidate has usually ran as a Democrat in numerous local and state elections over the years, but he’s running as an independent this year, and insists he’s the best candidate to win the seat that’s also being contested by Republican Dana Young and Democrat Bob Buesing. Campaign reports show that Redner has spent…

HD 60 Democrat David Singer says his campaign is about right vs. wrong, not left vs right

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

David Singer says that when he began his run for the Hillsborough County based House District 60 race in April, his goal was not to get into an ideological discussion about left vs. right, but “right vs. wrong.” And now that the primary election season is over, he says he intends to use the next eight weeks to make the clear distinction on the issues between himself and Republican Jackie Toledo. Toledo narrowly defeated Rebecca Smith in the GOP primary last month, in part…

Mitch Perry Report for 9.12.16 — Will this Syrian ceasefire hold?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Good Monday morning to you all. While the U.S. media will be focused intently on Hillary Clinton‘s health, there’s another issue taking place today that deserves close observation — the tentative truce between the warring factions that’s supposed to happen in Syria tonight at sundown. The truce was announced last last week between Russia and the U.S., and there is “cautious optimism” this could lead to ending the five-year civil war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced millions from…

Bob Buesing says he’s a better fit for Senate District 18

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Bob Buesing says, based on the issues, he’s a better fit for those who reside in the newly created state Senate District 18 in Hillsborough County. Senate District 18 is considered a swing district that leans Democratic, and was created out of the Supreme Court-mandated redistricting of all Senate districts last year. “Let’s have conversations in a general election in front of all the electorate, instead of just the closed primaries in gerrymandered districts. That’s healthier for the state,” Buesing said in praising the…
