wacky politics in temple terrace
tommyA complaint was filed against Temple Terrace city councilwoman Linda Shattles. From the Tampa Bay Business Journal:
… on Sept. 21 Shattles told employees of Salon One, [at] Sherwood Forest retail center, that the retail center had posted the “wrong political signs” in front of the building and that she would organize a “boycott of Salon One and other merchants in the shopping center” unless the center’s co-owner, Paul Tomasino, removed the signs.
The “wrong political signs” were for her opponent in the upcoming election. As a sitting councilwoman, you just can’t do that. Linda Shattles has not responded for comment.

You are supposed to get the dept of public works to tear up the street in front of your opponents headquarters, just like in The Wire on HBO.

That must be what happened on South MacDill this entire summer. Who did Roberto’s Cafe and MZ Convenience Store tork off at City Hall?

I know it’s immature, but, “Shattles.” Hee hee hee! That’s funny. She’s just irritable because her name sounds like the past tense of, well… you know.

[...] You might remember the Temple Terrace councilwoman who went a little loopy at a business which was simply practicing free speech. [...]
