‘Appalling’ offshore drilling plan faces bipartisan blowback

The Trump administration’s plan to allow oil drilling 100 miles off of Florida’s west coast has drawn unanimous criticism from state politicians, local marine experts and tourism stakeholders. 

J.P. Brooker, the St. Petersburg-based director of Florida conservation for the Ocean Conservancy, called the Interior Department’s proposal a “terrible step backwards.” The Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce noted that “a single incident could devastate our tourism industry.”

Looking forward: The month of December in the arts

Comedian, actor, former Saturday Night Live writer and host of Netflix’s Everybody’s Live John Mulaney returns to the Tampa Bay area in December, for three shows, at two different venues.

Let’s clarify. Mulaney’s Dec. 6 show, at the Straz Center in Tampa, is sold out. The next day, on the 7th, he travels to Hollywood (Florida), where plenty of tickets remain for his show at the Hard Rock Live.
