Good morning everyone.
We begin our news day with two reports regarding that sometimes raucous Pinellas County Commission budget workshop that occurred Tuesday afternoon and went into the evening. The lone Democrat on the board, Ken Welch, took particular umbrage at some of the behavior of some Tea Party members, which you can read about here.
And in a brand new post, one of those Tea Party members laments that behavior, while another continues to make assertions that Commissioner Welch says are flat out lies.
Meanwhile, over in Hillsborough County, George Niemann reports that former County officials Pat Bean and Renee Lee aren't in the clear yet with some of the actions that occurred while they served with the county.
A rally was held yesterday in Tampa regarding clean air.
And we read a bit last night of that new CBO report on the economy. The upshot: The D.C. agency doesn't see the economy improving much over the next three years, regardless of who is president.
