Welch files finance report late; major developers stand out

St. Pete Mayor Kenneth Welch’s political action committee (PAC) filed his second quarter (Q2) campaign contributions, totaling $114,000, albeit after the required June 10 deadline, adding another tally to a history of PAC-related mishaps that mired his first term as mayor.

Adrienne Bogen, Welch’s PAC chair, told the Catalyst: “Due to a family emergency our filing was postponed, we have now filed and look forward to continuing to fuel this campaign on promises kept and momentum.”

Arts Alive! podcast: The Mad Beach Band

Pete Merrigan, T.C. Carr and Vinnie Seplesky join us for this edition of Arts Alive! For more than four decades, these musicians have been in the front lines of the Mad Beach Band, at one time the hardest-working, busiest and most popular group in town.

A lot of Budweiser has passed under the John’s Pass Bridge since Merrigan, Carr, Pete Shackett and Harry Dailey crafted a winning amalgam of rock, country, folk and blues, a little Jimmy Buffett here, a little Willie Nelson there. And tongue-in-cheek original tunes. In 1970s and early-to-mid ‘80s beach bars, the Mad Beach Band on the stage always meant a raucous good time.
