Councilmember asks state watchdog for Rays stadium input

Florida Tax Watch, a nonprofit taxpayer research institute and self-billed government watchdog led by a former lieutenant governor, has entered the Tampa Bay Rays stadium debate.

The Tallahassee-based nonprofit - with several prominent state politicians and businesspeople comprising its leadership teams - released its 20-page examination of the ballpark proposal Tuesday. The report, dubbed “If You Build It, He Will Come,” follows a Feb. 14 email from St. Petersburg City Councilmember Lisset Hanewicz to former Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp seeking the organization's feedback.

The story of ‘Handsome Jack’ Taylor – Part 1

There will never be a statue erected in his honor ‒ or a street or park named for him. He is all but forgotten, yet his monuments are all around us. Pasadena’s brick paved streets, dozens of Mediterranean revival homes, Stetson University College of Law, the Pasadena golf course, the ruins of the Bear Creek Gateway and many of the historic homes and buildings in the Jungle area of west St. Petersburg owe their existence to Ivan Marshall (“Jack”) Taylor’s grandiose vision.
