in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Not to stir up any more trouble for myself than I usually do, but maybe, just maybe voters are undecided about whom to vote for St. Petersburg Mayor because the Times coverage is so lackluster. Not for lack of trying. The Times has bombarded the voters with coverage of the trivial and trivial candidates. Whether it be stories about Rays’ tickets, “sign monsters” or Kentucky Fried Chicken, the focus has been on what is Buzz worthy, rather than what is…

Draft Ken Welch

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

The latest poll on the St. Petersburg Mayoral race supposedly indicates that voters are undecided about their choice. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have access to a second poll, whose questions are more direct than The Times’. The crosstabs of this poll indicate that voters are not completely undecided, they are just undecided about which one of two candidates they would like to support. Bennett supporters are also Wagman supporters and vice-versa. Ford supporters are also Foster…

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

St. Petersburg voters still have no clue about who the next mayor should be, a new St. Petersburg Times poll shows. 61% undecided. Kathleen Ford, um, leads with 10%.

The Worst Election Ever

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Who would believe the fate of St. Petersburg could be changed by a car accident that occurred well beyond its city limits? On a brisk October evening, the Lord decided to call home Patrick Brett, the 20-year-old son of Terry and Kim. The high school student body president, homecoming king, and president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, died well before his time in a car accident on his way home from a college football game. Because it was near…

Bill Foster, Deveron Gibbons take lead in sign wars

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

The first shots in the sign war have been fired and the early victories have gone to Bill Foster and Deveron Gibbons as both candidates have a dominant signage presence in north St. Petersburg. Holding her own is Kathleen Ford with decent visibility. Lagging behind is Scott Wagman’s campaign, which had zero large signs up on either 4th or 9th Street. Even Jamie Bennett has a sign up on 4th Street! I did do a comprehensive review of 4th, 9th…
