A possible game changer? Hillsborough County Commission invites ABC group to discuss possible sites for new Rays stadium
where's the money for a new stadium going to come from? That is the question that of course underlies all of this talk, which is barely that for the moment. Hillsborough County is of course currently wrapped up inside itself over putting a ballot measure for a one cent sales tax to pay for transit projects. How much would the private sector pay? The Rays have shown in the past that they are willing to pay some, but certainly not all of the costs for a new park.

Kathleen Ford finally responds to "HNIC" charge
Kathleen Ford's racially charged comments have become an issue in the waning weeks of the campaign. How big an issue is impossible to say, but to say it's been a distraction for Ford in the closing days of the campaign would be an understatement.

Kathleen Ford & Bill Foster to get it on again, a debate, that is
Maybe it's because I've only seen the past couple of debates, but Foster is obviously tired of the references to dinosaurs and his Creationist beliefs, because he's now resorting to saying, "The fact that I believe in the Bible, I just can't believe it's now seen as a character flaw" - that was his response to a question that a conspiracy minded attendee (or Ford fan) might believe was planted: That is, a woman who after hearing the former Councilman's opening remarks, commented, "Why are people so afraid of you?"

St. Petersburg Mayoral Primary: Kathleen Ford and Bill Foster jockey for losing candidates' support
