On another note: we're doing our best to keep the @Buccaneers game here Sunday. I have assured the @NFL that the only disturbance here Sunday is when the Bucs kick ass. 😉

All along our goal has been to keep the Rays in Tampa Bay. We had been working on both sister city and full season proposals, and now we can focus all of our energy on a full season. I am optimistic @RaysBaseball will call Tampa Bay home for many years to come.

While the collective hearts of Champa Bay are broken by the news that the GOAT is retiring, we certainly owe @TomBrady a sincere debt of gratitude. He brought a standard of excellence that resulted in a number of firsts (1/2)

It is imperative we all take personal responsibility to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Lives are on the line. If you can work from home, we urge you to do so. If not, you need to stay at least 6ft from others. The bottom line is you are safer at home—so stay home if you can.

Removing a duly elected official should be based on egregious actions—not political statements. In a free state, voters should choose their elected officials. Tampa remains one of safest cities of its size thanks to the cooperation between our officers & law enforcement partners.

Yet again, a senseless loss of life by those choosing to settle a dispute with firearms. Lives lost and others forever changed. To what end? The Tampa Police Department had 50 officers deployed in the area at the time, so this is not a law enforcement issue. Bad decisions made in.
.@TampaPD Chief Bercaw provides an update on shooting in 1600 block of 7th Ave. early Sunday morning. Two subjects died. One person has been detained.

Overturning #RoeVsWade is a striking down of a fundamental right for women to control their bodies. Women are still going to get abortions. But now, they’re not going to be safe and women are going to lose their lives. This is a major step back for women’s rights.
