Mr. Nice Guy is not that

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Mayoral hopeful Jamie Bennett intentionally tried to influence neighborhood presidents and community leaders with free baseball tickets to the city’s suite at Tropicana Field, said a campaign organizer fired Friday over the controversy. But campaign manager Peter Schorsch’s allegations don’t stop there. Schorsch said he and Bennett plotted and schemed to discredit other candidates and misled the public about their dirty campaign tactics, even going as far as to entice homeless people to crash rival Kathleen Ford’s news conference. “Mr.…

I like Bill Foster. I really do!

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

So, like, I totally disagree with Bill Foster’s politics. In fact, if Bill is for something, I’m probably against it. And vice-versa. What’s worse is, Bill’s consultant, Jack Hebert, is my mortal enemy. So I haven’t missed a chance to bust Bill’s balls at every opportunity. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like Bill Foster. In fact, I really like Bill Foster. The guy is hilarious. I’ve run into him several times on the campaign trail and he’s been a…

With Scott Wagman’s profile in Sunday edition, first sign of Times’ bias displayed

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Less than a dozen people actually care which one of the St. Pete mayoral candidates would be featured in the Sunday edition of the St. Petersburg Times — the edition with the broader distribution than the rest of the week’s. But I do care because my guy is not in the Sunday edition, instead it was Scott Wagman. Is it a coincidence that the article was written by Adam Smith, who, in the past, has been in the bag for…

Mayoral forum at Parkshore

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

About fifty or so residents of the waterfront condominium community attended a forum for the six major mayoral candidates on Thursday at the Parkshore building. Unfortunately, I am already disgusted with these forums, and I have only been to two of them. Most of my disgust originates with Kathleen Ford, who reminds me of a pit bull choking against its own leash. She sooooo wants to break loose and tear into the closest piece of flesh. Groooowwwwllll, securities lending, bark,…

What an active PCDEC could have done

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

As I passed by the Saturday Morning Market and saw Scott Wagman’s hard-working volunteers continue to collect the requisite number of signatures from Saint Petersburg voters, a task which Jamie Bennett’s campaign only recently completed, I couldn’t help but wonder what a difference it would make if there was a more active, more politically astute Pinellas County Democratic Executive Committee. Let’s say I was chair of the PCDEC, a terrifying thought to some, I am sure. But if I were…

Scott Wagman’s pops his cherry

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Take a look at the images of the postcard mailed out on behalf of Scott Wagman’s campaign. What do you not see? That’s right, there is no disclaimer. The $500 fine he will receive for leaving off the disclaimer is but a pittance out of his $19 million fortune. It’s nothing more than a cabinet fixture for his penthouse suite in the Ovation building. But it’s also just another misstep by a candidate (I’m gonna spend 500K, bring in the…
