Tiger Bay or Tiger Lilly?
Like with so many others, my relationship with Tiger Bay is becoming a love-hate situation. I love going to the forums, I think they hate when I show up and make the likes of Leslie Curran quiver with discomfort. Earlier this year and behind closed doors, the board of Tiger Bay contemplated taking away a fang-and-claw award I received for a question I asked Mayor Rick Baker. The rationale for this unprecedented action (seriously) had something to do with Beverly…

But my apprehension subsides quickly once I see all the familiar faces.

Two best websites may be from City Council candidates, not mayoral contenders
Of the 22 individuals crazy enough to run for elected office in St. Petersburg, the two with perhaps the best websites are candidates for City Council, rather than the better-funded candidates for Mayor.

Which campaign website is scarier…Richard Eldridge’s or Joe Smith’s?
I don’t want to make fun of either man; Richard Eldridge is the comic relief the mayoral race needed and Joe Smith is honorable man who probably deserves better than to run for public office.
