I thoroughly enjoyed today’s conversation with a few of Tampa Bay’s outstanding elected officials at #FPC24. Thank you, Temple Terrace Mayor Andy Ross, Hillsborough County Commissioner Gwen Myers, and St. Pete Councilmember Gina Driscoll for your time and thoughtful comments.

A consolidated regional board could give Tampa Bay a stronger voice when competing for transportation funding and would help prioritize regional projects. bizjournals.com/tampabay/new…

I’ve been digging into Florida’s homestead tax repeal plan… and it feels like watching someone rip out structural beams from a house without calling an engineer. 😳

Going to be a tough game for @OrlandoMagic. The Cavs will exploit our injuries inside all game. Heal fast, my men! #OrlandoMagic

Franz Wagner makes his first shot. #Magic offense still a bit stagnant. Tried to force a post-up to Moe Wagner. Have to get more movement in the offense. That's even with Paolo . 5-2 CLE, 10:43 1st

My NC grandfather was a Washington #Redskins fan from the beginning. Was it the 1940 championship game between the Bears and Redskins win 73-0 by slinging Sammy Baugh over Sid Luckman, or should I google?
