Exclusive: Chuck Harmon whacks Scott Wagman in letter defending Police Department

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Police Chief Chuck Harmon blasts Scott Wagman in a defense of the police department he is distributing to “friends, colleagues, community leaders and citizens.” Harmon writes: “Scott Wagman has sent out such gross misrepresentation of the facts in his campaign materials indicating crime in Tampa is down 46% while St. Petersburg is up 9%.” Harmon goes on to cite several statistics, while also stating “the candidates have a duty to tell the truth and not misrepresent facts of such importance…

John Warren’s direct mail-piece

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

There are other candidates running for Mayor of St. Petersburg beside Deveron Gibbons and Scott Wagman. Unfotunately, their campaign budgets allow them to block out the light from other campaigns. Take a look at this mailpiece from John Warren’s campaign. There is a lot to like here. I like one of the pictures. It’s not perfectly set-up, because there is more sky than there is John Warren, but it says to me, this man has a vision, yet knows how…

Speaking of Scott Wagman, wilco tango foxtrot is up with that pinky ring?

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

It’s a rainy day, so of course I am at home watching videos of Scott Wagman and I can’t keep my eyes off of his pinky ring. Is this a bold fashion statement? A show of solidarity with Paulie Walnuts? I know Wagman has stacks and stacks of high society, but why he is reminding people of this by wearing something so gaudy and ostentatious as a pinky ring??? As a poker player, I am often exposed, and there is…

Where is the plaque for alternates? In other words, Scott Wagman’s TV spot is a loser

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Scott Wagman’s campaign debuted its first television commercial. I haven’t seen something so bad since I walked out of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Like the Transformers movies, this commercial had an almost unlimited budget, yet the dollars don’t end up on the screen. That’s because, despite his significant financial advantage, Scott Wagman doesn’t have anything new to say. To quote Oscar Wilde, “if it’s not on the page,” it won’t end up on the screen. Somehow and for some…

Peter Schorsch announces candidacy for Creative Loafing’s Best Local Troublemaker

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

It is with tremendous enthusiasm and the support of my family and friends that today I announce my candidacy for Creative Loafing’s Best of the Bay award “Best Local Troublemaker.” In so many ways, this is a no-brainer: since I returned from New York last year, no one has created more havoc in the local political scene. I told Mayor Rick Baker to shave his mustache. I’ve torpedoed more people than Sean Connery. I even called the St. Petersburg Times…

Wayne Garcia says I am a ‘one-man election wrecking crew’ — I can’t say he’s wrong

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

From Wayne Garcia, Political Whore, who has wasted almost as much time writing about the All-American City Awards as he has the St. Petersburg mayoral race and who has shown a definitive bias for Scott Wagman’s campaign, lists me as one of five reasons why the election is not connecting with voters: Former PoHo contributing blogger Schorsch should have been nowhere near the city of St. Petersburg election. After all, his arrest a few years back on charges of ripping…
