He said what? Mayor Bill Foster says ‘I don’t want to hear’ from anyone who doesn’t come to budget meetings

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Michael Van Sickler reported over the weekend that fewer than 20 residents showed up at Mayor Bill Foster’s first budget forum Wednesday night, a turnout that fell far short of expectations for an event where 120 aluminum folding chairs were set up at the J.W. Cate Recreation Center. The low turnout prompted one hell of a quote from Mayor Bill Foster: “By the time of the public hearings when people line up to complain, most of the heavy lifting is…

Craig Sher comes to Tiger Bay

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

When the ABC Coalition of business and civic leaders completed more than a year’s study of baseball alternatives, Mayor Bill Foster deemed the findings too hot to handle.  Well not for the Tigers!  Craig Sher of the Coalition will enter the den and walk us through the options and take your questions.  What will it take to keep the Rays in St. Petersburg?  In Pinellas County? In the Tampa Bay region?  How and when can our recession-plagued community come up…

St. Pete Times editorial: Mayor Bill Foster’s errant pitch on sports

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Looks like the Times editorial board feels the same way I do about Bill Foster’s hiring of his campaign manager — and his poor choice of words defending the move. St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster’s effort to attract more sports events sounds like a good idea. But he started off on a sour note by hiring his campaign manager to lead the effort and offering an intemperate defense. “I don’t care if he’s my illegitimate son,” Foster said of former…

Ernest Hooper is wrong

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

In case you missed it, St. Petersburg Times columnist Ernest Hooper wrote this morning: My friend says Tampa’s declining crime rate will go up a tick if the city “steals” the Rays from St. Petersburg, but is it stealing if St. Pete wouldn’t be upset about the move? Sure, Mayor Bill Foster won’t concede the team without a fight, but the general populace seems more interested in fixing the Pier and completing construction of the new Salvador Dali museum. Let…
