St. Pete Mayor-elect Crist teases a ‘map forward’ for city

St. Petersburg gave its mayor-elect, Charlie Crist, a mandate. City voters turned out 62% for the former governor and congressman, ousting Mayor Ken Welch. Crist’s strategy of harping on the incumbent’s failures — including the impending loss of the Tampa Bay Rays and the missed opportunity of a Moffitt Cancer Center campus downtown — resonated with residents let down by Welch’s five years at City Hall.
