Nearly a MILLION dollars has been contributed to the Moving Hillsborough Forward campaign to help get the county taxpayers to fund a downtown Tampa Choo-Choo as a gift from Ken Hagan’s Transportation Task Force.
It might be an interesting exercise to follow the money and speculate why the money was contributed and who made the decision.

What does commissioner Hagan mean when he says that when the Rays are ready to talk that Hillsborough “wants to have a seat at the table.”
What might it cost us?
Seems like we heard something like this from the BOCC when they bonded-out the last half-penny sales tax increase to buy the Bucs a new home.
We’re still paying for that one.
Run Ken, Run
