Tampa/Hillsborough Deserves Better


It has been funny this year to watch the personality battles between the various leaders in Tampa and Hillsborough County.

Remember Alexander Haig's "I'm In Charge" statement. Well when Mayor Iorio and the County Administrator started to tug over who would be in charge following a significant disaster, it sure sounded a familiar tone.

With the growth that is happening all over the immediate area, it is clear to see that most of it seems out of control from the long range planners. It has become virtually seamless as you drive out East Adamo drive and transition to Brandon. Plant City, Lutz, Riverview are rapidly filling in the gaps of any empty property to be found.

In case you missed it, the Tampa Tribune recently called for a county mayor form of government. Petitions are being circulated to put this issue on the ballot. We think it is a good idea, too. What do you think ?
