Social worker eyes District 5 seat

ST. PETERSBURG - It still isn't clear whether City Council Chairman Jamie Bennett's District 5 seat will be up for election in November, but that hasn't stopped political hopefuls from eyeing the position.

Will Michaels, vice president of the Council of Neighborhood Associations, has already met with Bennett to discuss the mechanics of the job and whether he should run.

Now, social worker Steve Kornell has announced he is considering entering the race. Kornell also met with Bennett and earlier this week he held an informal gathering with supporters.

"I'm not 100 percent sure that I'm doing it," said Kornell, 42, who works for Pinellas County schools. "But it's likely that I will run."

Kornell said he worked for the city's recreation department for 20 years. He said he is interested in improving public safety, education and economic development.

Not very big shoes to fill.

"He said he is interested in improving public safety, education and economic development."

4:06, give the guy a break! This is a blog post and not an in-depth article. It is not like they would have printed his views on all the issues, even if he shared them with the reporter. That is why they have a campaign season.

With crime rampent in St. Pete, the school board budget in free fall, and the unemployment rate the worst in 40 years, I'll be interested in hearing his proposed solutions - if any.

Not another Coach.
