					<description><![CDATA[The decision by St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman&#8216;s administration to award the Callaloo Group to take over the historic Manhattan Casino last month was not exactly met with universal praise in the community &#8211; even amongst the mayor&#8217;s most fervent supporters in South St. Pete. At Thursday&#8217;s City Council meeting, members of the Callaloo Group made their case as to why they will be worthy of the choice. &#8220;We understand the challenges that lie ahead, and we understand the responsibilities&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When polls close at 7 p.m. in St. Petersburg&#8217;s mayoral primary, the question is not who received the most votes, but whether former mayor Rick Baker reached the fifty percent-plus-one vote threshold to win the race outright. From the day Baker officially entered the race, he has been an aggressive challenger. On the steps of City Hall, Baker gave a fiery speech about the failures of the Rick Kriseman administration, accusing the current mayor of dividing the city. The mayor and his allies say he&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although the item was removed from the St. Petersburg City Council&#8217;s agenda, a number of citizens came before Council members and Mayor Rick Kriseman Thursday to express discontent with the decision to lease and operate the historic Manhattan Casino to the Callaloo Group. Leading Callaloo is Ramon Hernandez, operator of Pipo&#8217;s Cuban restaurants, who intends to offer a &#8220;Floribbean&#8221; fusion restaurant at the Casino. Kriseman&#8217;s choice smacks of gentrification, as another &#8220;urban displacement project,&#8221; said state Rep. (and former Council member) Wengay Newton.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After the Hillsborough County Commission initially voted last month to keep the Confederate statue in front of the county courthouse annex, Hillsborough Democrats vowed to take revenge at the ballot box next year against all four Republicans who resisted the call to move the monument. Stacy White, Victor Crist, Sandy Murman and Ken Hagan are each running in 2018 for four-year terms.
