He made national news by taking issue with Governor Ron DeSantis’ Covid-19 response, and now St. Petersburg mayor Rick Kriseman is back in the headlines after calling out a jam-packed Super Bowl party at the city-owned Albert Whitted Airport.
The website TMZ published images of the private Feb. 5 event - $85 general admission, $7,000 for a table by the stage - depicting a large crowd, maskless and shoulder-to-shoulder, while rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson performed onstage. On Twitter, Kriseman expressed outrage at the careless disregard for public safety, and for ignoring his executive order calling for face coverings in indoor public places.
