					<description><![CDATA[Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn has rarely been at odds with the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce during his six-and-a-half years in office. But his proposal to raise property taxes in the city for the first time in 29 years is being rejected by the Chamber. “After considerable review of the proposed millage increase, we do not agree that there is sufficient justification for the proposed tax increase on residents and businesses,” said Mike Griffin, the chamber&#8217;s chair. “Business leaders in&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For the third year in a row, the Hillsborough County Metropolitan Planning Organization voted to maintain what is now known as the Tampa Bay Next (TBN) project, despite dozens of citizens who told them that they should remove the plan from the MPO&#8217;s Transportation Improvement Project (TIP). Although the controversial Tampa Bay Express (TBX) is gone in name, critics who spoke before the Hillsborough County Metropolitan Planning Organization meeting Tuesday night said its DNA remains throughout its named successor, Tampa Bay&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last year in the Florida Legislature, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill to create statewide regulations regarding ridesharing, but the bill died ignominiously in the state Senate. Similar bills are winding their way through committees in both chambers already in 2017, and on Wednesday, the group Floridians for Ridesharing Coalition announced their support for that legislation, being sponsored in the House by Palm Harbor Republican Chris Sprowls and Tampa Republican Jamie Grant and in the Senate by St. Petersburg Republican Jeff Brandes. &#8220;We fully support legislation that&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although they didn&#8217;t show their full support for the measure until a week ago the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce says it&#8217;s &#8220;disappointed&#8221; by the fact that the Hillsborough County Commission narrowly voted to reject the proposed half-cent sales tax referendum on transportation on Wednesday night. &#8220;Kicking the can down the road is not what we expect of our elected officials nor what our community deserves,&#8221; writes Bob Rohrlack, the chamber&#8217;s President and CEO. &#8220;With 1200 member companies representing over a&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A key business group is supporting the proposed half-cent sales tax to fund Hillsborough County transportation. “Based on our study of the issue, the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce supports a half-cent sales tax for a duration of at least 20 years to fund transportation options within Hillsborough County, including the incorporated cities of Plant City, Tampa and Temple Terrace,” the group said in a press release Thursday. Tampa Chamber President Bob Rohrlack added that internal polls and surveys conducted&#8230;]]></description>
