					<description><![CDATA[Mark Nash, a member of the Hillsborough County Democratic Executive Committee, has filed to run for the District 5 seat on the County Commission. “I’m running because I’m not afraid to take on the challenges we face,” Nash said in a statement Wednesday. “This race is about bringing people together and finding solutions – I’m the person to get the job done.” This will be Nash&#8217;s third effort to get on the board. He lost to Republican Al Higginbotham for&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Officials from Hillsborough and Pinellas counties announced this week they are jointly pursuing an effort to recruit Amazon to the region. The country&#8217;s largest retailer is looking to build a second headquarters outside of its current Seattle campus. This has led to an intense bidding war among communities throughout the country. St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman says he&#8217;s excited about the joint effort. He also says it wouldn&#8217;t be happening if his opponent in this year&#8217;s mayoral election, Rick Baker,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Environmentalists have been clamoring for lawmakers and public utilities to embrace more solar power in Florida for decades, but the marketplace may be the biggest driver in seeing more solar now happening in the Sunshine State. &#8220;The price for solar has come down exponentially,&#8221; says Susan Glickman with the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. Solar installations have gone down 65 percent over the past five years, specified Rick Garrity, Hillsborough County&#8217;s environmental protection commission director from 2000-2015, adding that homeowners can still&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Even though Hurricane Irma was &#8220;downgraded&#8221; to a Category 1 storm by the time it ripped through the region last week, it has definitely made a financial impact in Hillsborough County. Preston Cook, Hillsborough County&#8217;s director of emergency management, said Wednesday that while the storm wasn&#8217;t nearly as fierce as initially feared, Irma damaged 287 single family homes, 140 mobile homes and 14 businesses. That adds up to a total of $8.9 million in property damages to date. The estimated&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The publication of a dossier of critics of a Confederate monument in Hillsborough County has prompted at least a temporary change in how the board&#8217;s policy on how public speakers address the board. The County Commission voted Thursday to temporarily have speakers only give their name when addressing the board, and not a home address during the public comment portion of their meetings. The move comes after Save Southern Heritage published a dossier last month listing names, addresses, phone numbers&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although not universally embraced (most prominently by some conservative Hillsborough Republicans), most observers considered the Cross-Bay Ferry pilot project last winter and spring a success. The ferry was also a positive example of the region coming together on at least one project to deal with the vexing issue of transportation. Championing the plan, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman went hat-in-hand to local governments in Hillsborough, Tampa, Pinellas and his own City Council to raise $350,000 in total to get the project&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A majority of Hillsborough County voters would side with commissioners who voted to keep a controversial Confederate monument in front of a county courthouse annex, according to a new poll. The St. Pete Polls robocall survey of more than 1,400 Hillsborough residents shows 58 percent of voters would support a county commissioner who voted to keep the statue of a Confederate soldier in front of the Hillsborough County courthouse Pierce Street annex, where it has stood for more than a century.&#8230;]]></description>
