... And Meanwhile, In Other News

* St. Joseph's Hospital did a good job of responding to the story of the bogus ER worker, talking to the world about what happened and being forthright about the lapse in security. But I cynically fear that some lawyer is soliciting St. Joe's ER patients from the 10-hour period in question to sue for something.

* State Sen. Nancy Argenziano, R-Crystal River, is one of my favorites even though I sometimes disagree with her. She is blunt and unafraid and doesn't just toe the party line. She's been strongly pro-consumer on utility issues, and now is applying for a seat on the state Public Service Commission. The screening process has always been ridiculously pro-utility, but who knows?

* Shouldn't these folks have written some checks by now?

Unclogo * Happy Thursday and happy ACC Tournament. In case I have not sufficiently displayed my partisan bias, here's today's column. And in closing, may I add: Go Heels.

About This Blog

Welcome to TroxBlog, the web-home of columnist Howard Troxler, where he and readers discuss his column topics and current events. The goal here is to focus on the merits of issues, instead of personal attacks or knee-jerk partisanship.

Howard Troxler has been a St. Petersburg Times metro columnist since 1991. His print column normally appears Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on page 1B.

Born March 19, 1959, in Burlington, N.C., Troxler writes a mix of reporting, analysis, satire and commentary on state and local matters. He considers himself politically unpredictable with libertarian leanings ("I'm for gay marriage WITH gun ownership") but readers routinely conclude he is hopelessly biased against whatever it is they happen to be for. He is married with no children and lives in St. Petersburg.
