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.

I lost my Sarasota race. Amendment 3 gave me reason to cheer | Opinion

Despite a " Blue Tsunami " nationwide on Election Day, and a clear hunger for change among voters, most election results here in Sarasota and Manatee counties fell into the category of "same old, same old." We elected or reelected state legislators who brought us the deeply loathed, except by developers, Live Local Act . County seats in Manatee and Sarasota generally favored well-financed, pro-development candidates, which will hamper growing movements in both counties that advocate for slower growth. So what did we learn? First, we learned that we are as polarized and divided as ever. My own unsuccessful campaign for the state Senate District 22 seat always faced one major obstacle: the fear among many local voters that supporting an independent candidate would result in "helping the other team." And while the turnout overall was decent, let’s be honest: Many voters in Sarasota County may still not know what the Charter Review Board actually does, and just as many Manatee County voters likely aren’t sure who is best suited to serve on the mosquito control district. All that said, there were some notable results. There was dramatic change on the North Port City Commission , thanks to a grassroots

St. Pete Council Overrules Panel, Clears Chick-fil-A Rebuild That Could Bulldoze Fish Store

St. Petersburg City Council voted 7-1 to approve land-use and zoning changes that pave the way for a larger Chick-fil-A at 4201 4th Street N, overturning a city commission's earlier rejection of the project. The decision clears a path for the fast-food chain to rebuild on a bigger footprint with nearly double the parking, but it also puts a long-running shopping center, a neighborhood fish store, and seven apartment units on the chopping block.
