					<description><![CDATA[All politicians start out by saying how they want to make a difference. Well, Kevin Beckner did. His now-former colleagues at the Hillsborough County Commission acknowledged that Wednesday during his final meeting as a member of the board.

					<description><![CDATA[The Hillsborough County commissioner is halfway through his second and final term on the BOCC, and some political analysts are already pondering where he’ll attempt to land next in his political future. There were rumors a few years ago that he would run for chief financial officer in 2014, but his decision not to go for it was probably a wise one during that decisively Republican midterm cycle. 2014 was also a banner year for Hillsborough County when it came to joining&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In addition to saying the City Council was wrong to exclude transgender individuals when the human rights ordinance was changed to protect gays and lesbians, Kathleen Ford said &#8220;all public bathrooms should be unisex, private-stall bathrooms to accommodate everyone&#8221; according to an article in which the mayoral candidates outline where they stand on gay rights issues. As I do whenever I discuss gay rights issues, let me qualify everything I write by reiterating my belief that gay rights is a&#8230;]]></description>
