As for her supporters, of which I was probably her most vocal, we/I were never going to go negative against Steve…

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Looks like the editors at the Times have opened up the books and decided Aaron Sharockman deserves to be a made guy. After the St. Petersburg Mayoral Campaign, Sharockman will begin his new duties, covering Florida politics for the Times‘ Pulitzer prize-winning PolitiFact. The only downside to this is that Aaron will no longer be covering the drive to build a new baseball stadium. Congratulations to a great reporter, even if he is a lousy card player. (He once called…

Tiger Bay or Tiger Lilly?

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Like with so many others, my relationship with Tiger Bay is becoming a love-hate situation. I love going to the forums, I think they hate when I show up and make the likes of Leslie Curran quiver with discomfort. Earlier this year and behind closed doors, the board of Tiger Bay contemplated taking away a fang-and-claw award I received for a question I asked Mayor Rick Baker.
