A pair of Hillsborough [Florida] county commissioners are using passage of a tax-cutting Amendment to pitch merging some government services with the city of Tampa. Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio’s reaction: A very firm no. Iorio said she has no interest in letting the county shape recreation programs in light of the county's nearly three-year-old ban on gay pride displays at libraries.

Brilliant

Yes Commissioner Storms (now a State Representative) certainly helped the county with that one.

Another well thought out plan by local government. As a right wing fanatic, can't we get the local government officials to do just the minimum. Why is city or county commission the only job on the face of the earth where people want to do something more than what is required.

Take a lesson from the DMV and do as little as possible. Let people live their lives, let people raise their children - or not the cops can deal with them if the parents won't, and don't micromanage local government employees.

Thank goodness we have a multimillon dollar stadium and a world class parade full of drunks and criminals called Gasparilla. We don't have gay themed displays in our librarys! Good government at work I tell ya.
