Scott Wagman says, if elected, Go will go

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

From the Bay Buzz: Mayoral candidate Scott Wagman said Monday that if he’s elected the city’s top liaison with the African American community, Go Davis, likely will be out of a job. Davis, the homegrown former city police chief, has been St. Petersburg’s primary contact with the African American neighborhoods in Midtown under Mayor Rick Baker and generally has been credited with calming and building relationships in the area. Wagman said that after meeting with Davis recently, he’s unsure if…

The end for SaintPetersBlog

Ever since I acquired the rights to the perfect domain for my efforts — FloridaPolitics.com — I knew that one

Welcome back: St. Petersblog, the other one, hates Scott Wagman, too!

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Don’t know where they were, why they left or why they’re back, but the snarkies at St. Petersblog, known around these parts as “that other St. Petersblog,” woke up from three or four months of inactivity to blast Scott Wagman: “This dude is going to be seriously pissed when he wakes up on November 4 and realizes he has spent a small fortune on yard signs, Google ads and a team of people annoying me with shitty e-mails. Hell, he…

Pinellas Realtors explain endorsements

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Is this going to be one of the new trends this election season, in which organizations explain their endorsements? Sierra Club explained why it endorsed Scott Wagman for St. Petersburg Mayor; now the Pinellas Realtors are explaining (albeit with several spelling errors I had to correct) the endorsement they made last week in the City Council races: District 2: James Kennedy – Kennedy earned the committee’s recommendation because of his commitment to growth management planning as well as his overall…

Scott Wagman pulls a John McCain by playing Van Halen’s ‘Right Now’ in campaign video

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

I did not think the voters of St. Petersburg would see a candidate as gauche as Deveron Gibbons, who has the temerity to send out a mail-piece which cribs from Lawton Chiles’ 1990 campaign at the same time it shows a picture of Gibbons next to Charlie Crist, but Scott Wagman’s recent antics almost take the cake for flat-out gumption. Put aside my complaints about his advertising on Google without the proper disclaimer, but you can’t look past him putting…

Creative Loafing’s slurping of Scott Wagman — and its downward spiral in general

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Last week, Political Whore Wayne Garcia and I got into a minor scrape over my accusation of a bias by Creative Loafing for St. Petesburg mayoral candidate Scott Wagman, whose political consultant is the domestic partner of CL editor David Warner. My accusation began as just a gentle nudge; I left this comment at the end of a story about Wagman receiving Sierra Club’s endorsement: “Lots of stories about Wagman from the paper edited by his consultant’s partner.” Garcia unloaded…

Video: Scott Wagman illegally placing yard signs in city right-of-way

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Sorry for the grainy footage, but I am posting on the fly as this story develops. I just so happened to be coming home from a night on the town when I noticed someone putting out yard signs in the right-of-way at the intersection of 4th Street and 83rd Avenue. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the signs were for Scott Wagman. Upon even closer inspection, I noticed that it was Scott Wagman himself illegally placing the yard signs in the…
