Tampa FL Tops in Corruption Malfeasance
News about corruption and malfeasance in Tampa Florida.
Re-direct to this more updated wikizine
Hillsborough County has enjoyed a long, diverse history since being incorporated. However, in recent years the corruption and malfeasance have grown overwhelming. The Tampa City Council has recently taken a stand against merely 'reacting to the administration' of Mayor Pam Iorio, which may be a hallmark of progress but only time will tell.
Recently, the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has reacted to proposed property tax cuts by IMMEDIATELY voting to rid themselves and developers of the pesky Environmental Protection Commission branch which manages the county wetlands. Ignoring the fact that the EPC had already made the necessary cuts. The commissioners and their developer buddies paint the EPC as a 'layer of bureacracy' standing in the way of development.
To wit: The citizens of Tampa Florida and Hillsborough County have been put on the defensive, forced to defend themselves against those they elected to public office.
In order to highlight and hopefully dissipate some of the worst corruption, this wikizine is being created to showcase these corrupt individuals and their actions as they disallow the citizens of our fair city a voice in the process which governs them.
If every city across America highlighted the corruption in their city in this manner, we would create a PUSH BACK .
Let's create a pushback.
