Kriseman Administration out of touch

Things don’t seem to be going well in St. Petersburg and the Kriseman administration is taking a less than serious view of the situation.

Republicans in a full state of confusion

Bush down, Fiorina way up, Rubio coming on, the Republican Party in near state of panic and Trump on top.

Waste Water - St. Pete wasting time

When was the last time you heard waste water or storm water disposal as a major issue from the Kriseman administration?

Welcome to St. Petersburg?

The question is can you really pack enough millennials between 4th street and the waterfront to pay all the City’s bills?

Rick Kriseman - The Mayor who would be King Part II

The City Charter worked as designed and the City got a top notch administrator not a political hack.

Rick Kriseman - The Mayor that would be King

This is more of a Mayoral power grab than it is a legitimate way to improve the St. Petersburg electoral or political process.

Trump - Some positive affects

The Republican Party is trying to do the nice dance staying out of Trump's line of fire.

The Office of the Mayor - is it worth the money?

The reason Nurse didn’t get his report is because there is nothing to report.

The Pier Looks more like a prison than a tourist attraction or a park

The City’s New Pier Web site has not been updated since July 9, 2015. That’s just about the time the demolition Permits thing blew up.

Trump, Bush and Rubio

The abundant crop of Republican presidential candidates is all playing to the Party and Trump is playing to the people.

Is the Pier approach really safe for those demolition trucks and equipment?

My guess is the Pier approach had a lot more life left in it than Foster, Kriseman or Connors wanted the public to know about.

City caught with its Pier Park permits down

Everyone on Council was so anxious to get this deal done and behind them no one followed up.

Pier Fatigue

There was a lot of “let’s just get on with it and let them, build what ever they want.”

Kriseman Administration is asking City Council to Waive City Procurement Rules to hasten DEMO of existing Pier.

The money isn’t the point and that’s the issue.

The stampede to the new Pier

They manipulated the Pier process and the Selection Committee and now they will try to manipulate the City Council

The Gay Marriage decision

Why do we even have marriage sanctioned by the State or issue marriage licenses?

Jeb Bush officially but maybe not so willingly in the race for the White House

Republicans have got to figure out the women issue in this campaign and they must do so early.

Sign or Symbol The City of St. Pete may have a Flag problem

Once the Mayor made the decision to put a flag over City Hall he opened a can of worms and now someone has kicked the can over.

Carly Fiorina a voice that needs to be heard

The Republicans need at least one serious female contender in the race for the presidential nomination
