Aria Green has a 35 year old son that he abandoned. His son’s name is also Aria. He’s never gotten any help or emotional support or heard a word from his biological father. Aria Green is a hypocrite and coward.

i feel our mayor does so very little for tampa.
the only time you hear her name is when USF’s football team is doing well.
there is so much she could be doing for this city, but she does nothing.
Traffic is awful, i know everywhere, but she and the village idiots have done nothing to help it. New Tampa is awful, the traffic lights are set wrong, it is almost impossible to get out of some shopping centers, cross creek blvd is still a cluster.
why are you allowing builders to build new homes and new subdivisions, its not right.
Stop the damn building, with over 10000 homes for sale in Hillsborough cty., why would you allow new building at all, shut it down.

Aria Green has been an great leader for 30 years not only as the first black fire cheif of hillsborough co, but and man with great interity and leadership skill. On the other hand Pam Iorio has done and great job of not leading tampa in the direction that she promise the people. The people of tampa needs and man like aria green with great leadership skills. please understand this man have put in his work but most importantly has an vision from god,any christian person need to understand the god has sent an servant from him to lead our community in the right direction. I stand here a fearful man of the most high god praying for an change in our great community may god bless all of his children

aria green is totally off target with light rail as not only have studies been done but we a history of a very good Light rail system here that was killed by General motors who bought our very functional and heavily used trolley system that ran from 5 am to 3 am every 7 min to 30 min apart depending on time and route.
the reason was simple GM made Buses so by destroying light rail the more costly buses could replace them which is why most buses run only once an hour and not on Sundays as the funds are not there to run them like the trolleys did
by the way GM did this all across the county which is why very few cities have trolleys now but there has never been a properly built trolley system fail in any city.
(some say Tampa trolley is a failed system and I agree only due to the fact it is incomplete so unstill it runs into local areas were people live and the malls and airport it is just not properly built)

Dear John, You should take note that you are stating your opinion. Many people have a great deal of respect for Mr. Kucinich. I’m not sure where you get the idea that I was telling anyone off and I know as much about you as you know about me. Probably less as I’m DEFINITELY not a city/county employee typing away on the taxpayer’s dollar. How bout you?

In fact, even though I hear a troubling amount of vexation with Pam from everyone to my mechanic (33 years in same location) to every city employee except for the ones in her office and you … one more time, I have nothing personal against her. Yep, many many many people have expressed their extreme dislike for her.

What she basically says is THIS: THIS CITY IS NOT CLEAN ENOUGH.

Check yourself, folks.

I notice we have half a million dollars worth of palm trees for the 2009 superbowl and the mayoral beautifation what have you and guess what? There are more homeless now than ever so perhaps we can get a homeless person to plunk down under every one of those palm trees. No money to help the homeless or fund the indigent care but plenty of dollars for fireworks in dt tampa. hmmmmmm
If you query da mayor on any of these matters she is happy to say that this is a county problem. But, I notice that she was happy to confront the county over the gay issue. I guess indigent care and the homeless stacked up five thicker than they were four years ago are just not sexy enough?

Again, this is an opinion. You have yours and I have mine. John and Funny.

I am not paid to express my opinion. Are you?

Perhaps you shouldn’t hide behind anonymity, funny, when you tell people off. That or accept that Aria Green’s shot at office is about as likely as Denis Kucinich’s shot at the office of the Presidency of the United States. Slim to none.

And the one last question you need to ask yourself is this: What do the polls say? I have not seen a poll as dominantly negative as you try to paint Pam Iorio’s tenure as mayor. Nor do I see a city that is endeared to the hearsay you’ve tried to spread through comments.

Besides, what difference does it make how ‘vocal’ it is or whether you travel in wide enough circles to hear it expressed? Some people live in mighty thin air and shouldn’t be surprised to hear the truth well expressed.
