AAron - Has any of the ABC genius' realized it is a dead issue. We have bigger fish to fry, i.e. the criminals on Wall Street and in DC.

The next time you talk with the ABC, could you ask if any of the members feel they are wasting their time in the light of the financial crisis. Thanks

It does seem a little silly to be discussing Public Funding for a baseball team during the current economic crisis.

But I guess backroom deals never sleep - just take a look at all the pork they stuffed into that Senate Bailout Bill (Tax breaks for racetracks? Wooden Arrows designed for use by children?!?)

So ABC, Inc. will continue to hunt the way a wolf pack does: Hide back in the weeds, wait ‘til the poor dumb animal isn’t looking, then burst from cover, a brief chase, hamstring the prey and rip its throat out to silently bleed it to death. Then settle down to eating the guts out of it, snapping and snarling over which one gets the best bits of flesh.
Wolves, especially of the human kind, will kill and eat every last edible animal in the area, even if it means they themselves will eventually starve, or at least have to move to a new hunting ground and start the killing all over. Anybody figure out which parts of us folks in Pinellas County will be gobbled to make up a billion bucks or so in gift subsidy for the Tampa Bay Rays owners?

Hey Aaron, anything interesting happen at the October 1 meeting of ABC, Inc.?

[who cares?]

Who cares? No authority, no power to do anything! Who cares?

[Paul]

Why does ABC even exist at this point?

No one listens to them, heck, I'm not even sure they listen to themselves.

I would like to say thank you to POWW for looking out for the citizens of St. Petersburg.

Ever since the Rays dropped their drive for a new waterfront stadium POWW has been quietly working, non-stop, to write two referenda for the Nov. 09 election. This will empower the citizens and give them the right to vote to protect our waterfronts and our wallets. Just like their motto says.

Thank you POWW for looking out for us. God knows the Mayor, the City Council, the Rays and the ABC Coalition sure isn't looking out for us.

I am proud to live in a city with citizens who are willing to step up to the plate when the issues are real and large.

Again, thank you POWW.

Aaron,

Any idea why the ABC website has minutes from their first meeting but not from the Oct 1st meeting? Isn't there another one tonight? Have you stopped reporting on this issue?

I thought they were operating in the sunshine, ie: posting the minutes from their meetings on their website?

A World Series in the Trop....The ULTIMATE slap in the face to Bud Selig and all his lemmings like Rick K.

Go Rays!!!

[Paul]

ABC needs to disband. Baker needs to shut it down now and save the little respect he has left.

We are organizing and will get this potential huge wealth transfer stopped once and for all.

[Rick K]

Crazy talk. A World Series in the Trop is not a slap in the face to those of us who are progressive. It is vindication of all we have said!

[Scaramouche]

Only thing "progressive" about Rick K is distance from reality.

He is like a monster out of a Stephen King novel -- maybe "Kujo?" It's ... ALIVE!
