In these days when politicians are hiding out at hotels to draw up dirty redistricting plans, calling the cops on each other during legislative sessions and generally engaging in behavior that would make fifth-graders look mature, it's refreshing to have a mayor like Pam Iorio. She's calm, articulate, professional, sensible, honest and down to earth. Maybe there's hope yet that Tampa could become known for something besides strip clubs and whoring for Super Bowl. And, Pam, how about giving some lessons in manners and professionalism to Hillsborough County commissioners, especially Ronda Storms?
