city officials sworn in
City of Tampa elected officials were sworn in yesterday. Directly following, the city council chose Gwen Miller as the chairwoman, again.
Mayor Pam says mass transit will be her focus for this next term.
Not so fast…
Linda Saul-Sena has been on the Metropolitan Planning Organization for 20 years. Gwen Miller decided that’s long enough. Her first order of business was denying Saul-Sena a spot on the MPO. Miller appointed three newcomers to the MPO board, including Joe Caetano, who doesn’t give a rip about mass transit.

So is Miller awakening from her 12-year “coma” on the council to open a can of whoop-ass on the issues her opponents stood for?

Appears so, Dubya. Gwen’s gonna spend the next 4 yrs “getting back” at folks, but not much else. By the time we get meaningful mass transit around here I’ll be too old and feeble to ride.

Miller should have to justify declining Saul-Sena’s request to continue on the MPO. Miller has an agenda here and the city loses if she is allowed to pursue it. Ch 15 broadcast this incident earlier today, probably will show it again (as part of Sunday’s inauguration ceremony). Stay tuned for Survivor: Tampa City Council. Boo Gwen Miller!
