Hillsborough light rail discussions continue, Tampa Mayor hails light rail in state of the city address, and another story on light rail: Mitch Perry report 3.11.10

We sat through the near three hour discussion at the County Center in Tampa yesterday for Hillsborough County Commissioners to discuss the light rail ballot language and whether to can three top employees.

You can read our story here on that event - also, CL contributor Chris Ingram, a local GOP political consultant, is now filing an ethics complaint against County Attorney Renee Lee.

You can read our report on the light rail discussion here from yesterday.  We also report on what the Mayor of Los Angeles is doing today, and how it just might benefit Hillsborough County getting it's light rail system together faster - that is, if voters approve of the measure.

Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio offered up her State of the City Address yesterday , that was a powerful call for voters to approve of the light rail system later this year.
