					<description><![CDATA[After more than two and a half years of operating in violation of the Hillsborough County Public Transportation Agency, ridesharing companies Uber and Lyft are now legal to operate in the county — for at least another 13 months. The board voted 4-3 Wednesday to approve two new temporary operating agreements (TOAs) negotiated by outgoing PTC Chairman Victor Crist and officials with the two companies. It comes after at-times agonizing debates on the commission that led to a flood of bad&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With the Hillsborough County Public Transportation Commission poised to perhaps finally approve new rules that would legalize the use of ridesharing companies Uber and Lyft, now a local limousine company has filed suit against the local agency. West Coast Transportation Services filed a lawsuit on Friday challenging whether the PTC has the authority to regulate transportation network companies (TNC&#8217;s), another term for ridesharing companies. In the suit, filed in the 13th judicial circuit in Hillsborough County, West Coast Transportation says they&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Donald Trump is in Tampa tonight, speaking at the facility formerly known as the 1-800-Gary (it&#8217;s actually called the MidFlorida Credit Union something or other). Among the many criticisms even his most fervent supports have expressed about his flagging candidacy is the lack of specific policies that could persuade undecided voters to support him in November. To that end, on Saturday in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, The Donald unveiled what his team is calling his own &#8220;Contract with the American Voter&#8221; — a list of&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Forget about Marco Rubio in 2020, what about Rick Scott? Troy Kinsey from Bay News 9 reports that &#8220;some GOP operatives are floating him as a potential presidential contender in 2020, should Trump lose in November.&#8221; Kinsey then quotes all of one lone such operative in his story. But it does make for a good headline. Now, what about Marco Rubio? The Florida lawmaker made news this week when he declared in his debate against Patrick Murphy, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to serve in the Senate for the next six years, God&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Hillsborough County Public Transportation Commission moved closer to implementing rules with that have drawn the ire of ridesharing companies Uber and Lyft. Also displeased: the PTC&#8217;s chair, Victor Crist. The PTC&#8217;s Rules and Policy Committee passed some measures at its meeting on Tuesday, including a ban on surge pricing in times of a declared emergency and background checks that require fingerprinting, a mandate Uber specifically has said is a deal breaker. The new rules were approved by the committee on a 2-1 vote.&#8230;]]></description>
