Pam Iorio's Second Term

This makes me grit my teeth.


If re-elected, Iorio pledges to continue making neighborhoods a priority and to proceed with construction of the Riverwalk, the new Tampa Museum of Art and Children's Museum.


I have been on-record stating Riverwalk is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Iorio has bullied the Art Museum's board. Forcing director Emily Kass to resign. Iorio attempted to have the musuem moved to the old Federal Courthouse building. A study found the site unsuitable. Then came years of Iorio constantly charging her mind of where the musuem will be. Her two legacy projects leave much to be desired.

The campaign lacks coverage certainly which is why it is so low-key. But, I'm preaching to the choir.

It was hard to find the people she fired because TOO MANY of them quit in disgust or were forced out like Emily. Tampa's Back Door Ways ... (OR...): Revenge on Pam Iorio ??
But, I remember reading about quite a few ....

I was meandering about tampa the other day and came across some notification about the Mayor's walk on March 17th with Pam Iorio.

Now --- what makes her SO SURE she will be mayor then? I think at least she should have the finesse to .... oh, never mind.

It's too late in the game to teach anyone how to play.
But, that made ME grit my teeth. Pretty nervy.
It is not campaign posturing when I repeat what I have heard about Pam.

This has gone on almost since the beginning. Back when Tampa was still Tampa and Amerika was still America.

Her and that riverwalk .... and the 'small residences dotting the former green space which she has planned'. (in between the PAC and whatever ends up being there) In other words, I've never had any problem getting to the river until this administration started opening it up to the highest bidder.
River Tower Park is another FAILURE. Oh, I mean it leaves much to be desired. Sitting unused and unavailable to residents for over two years now while they talk some trash of doing some riverfront
'revitalization'. Why haven't they just thrown up some temp fencing to keep us all safe (controlled) and opened this park up? When they wanted to force the homeless from gaslight park they just tossed up some rent-a-fence.

Her staff is a bully. Like one of those japanese dragons consisting of many people. A bully. That's top-down.
