The Stogie Banned By "Friends Of The Hillsborough River"

It seems Mayor Bob's suragate doesn't like our art work.
----------
"Okay admins...two posts now attacking my good friend Bob Buckhorn. Garbage publication. No comments connecting to the river. No mention of all the good things he's done in his career. No mention of all his civic and community work, like when he and I brought Big Brothers/Sisters to Tampa many years ago. So what's the deal; this garbage is okay here or what?" Bill Lougheed
----------
"We have already asked Julio Rodriguez to take down this art that we all find inappropriate, and are eliminating his privileges to post on this page. So no, however well intentioned it may be that type of post is not appropriate for this page and his choice of art is not appropriate in any location."

Mayor Buckhorn's Administration Nullified City Council's Right

"To have a say in the Morris Bridge issue. They might have objected to this water grab, but now their hands are tied. No worries - if you email the County Commission and get them to appeal this bad deal, that is."Phil Compton

"Thank you to all our great environme ntalists who stood up to protect the Morris Bridge Sink. Everyone had the same message: Sierra Club opposes the permit to pump water from the Morris Bridge Sink. Speaking in opposition was Phil Compton, Sierra Club, Mary Elizabeth Figg, Rick Garrity, Jan Platt, Sid Flannery, Janet Dougherty, the new Director of the Environmental Protection Commission and Chet Joyner."

If we remember correctly they built The Tampa Bypass Canal 
(Destroying Six Mile Creek)  to keep the river from flooding.
 So why now do we have to take the water from The Morris Bridge Sink?
