Representative Janet Long pushes bill for stronger early-education standards

in Statewide by

  In the wake of a new report from the business community about Florida’s workforce, State Rep. Janet Long (D-Seminole) today called on legislative leaders to embrace her plan to improve Florida’s pre-kindergarten program. “Florida’s business leaders agree that an important step toward building a workforce capable of meeting the high-tech demands of the 21st Century is to ensure that today’s pre-kindergarten teachers hold at least a four year college degree. “For the third consecutive year, I have filed a…

Janet Long’s new opponent is a wingnut

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Janet Long was blessed last week with a second Republican opponent to her re-election effort in Florida House District 51. I write “blessed” because, by all apparent indications, this opponent, Dawn Thompson, is a downright wingnut. Just take a look at some of the highlights from Mrs. Thompson’s Facebook page: Her interests: “…States Rights; limited government, as was intended; Constitutional Rights, endowed by our Creator (not by Uncle Sam): LIFE (wow, babies should be allowed to live?…what a novel idea),…

Steve Kornell jabs at Angela Rouson in dueling mail-pieces to early voters

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

The question “Who says…?” is at the center of the debate between Steve Kornell and Angela Rouson in their campaign to win the District 5 seat on the St. Petersburg City Council. Both candidates mailed direct mail-pieces (both of which are heads-and-shoulders better than the butt-wipe the Mayoral Candidates mailed out) to the so-called early voters and the differences between the two is obvious: Steve Kornell is a recreation leader, Angela Rouson is a leader, period. Kornell’s mail-piece is actually…

Scott Wagman posts concession on (surprise) FB

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

If Scott Wagman could just keep his ego in check (!) and look beyond Facebook and Twitter, he’d be a half-way decent candidate (how does Senate District 16 look to you, Scott?). Yet, Scott’s ego continues to run amok, even in defeat. He posted a lengthy letter to his supporters on Facebook that is less a concession and more a manifesto. And, jeez, does Wags let it all hang out. He thanks Lucas Fleming for introducing him to Scott Johni…
