the rays stadium deal is so unpopular that everyone from DSA members to (today,) January 6-ers stop lynn on the street to thank her for leading the charge against it. the neighbor today: "if those woke idiots in St. Pete didn't want it why should we?"

This is beyond adorable. I still can't believe my two favorite singer/songwriters are not only friends, but played in bands together!

Gloria Steinem died with fewer rights than she had during her lifetime. That fact needs to be front and centre of every media report, every dedication, every discussion of her death.

I’m afraid you aren’t alone, and said as much on @wmnf.org yesterday. At the very least, I expect it to pass in Hillsborough County.

I just finished this book not too long ago. It was wonderful! Every chapter focused on a different midwestern dish.

The CDD is supposed to be for paying off the other $100M, some of the county's share, and, ideally for the Rays, some of the money they are putting in as well. But there will be no property taxes generated for the stadium itself, so other things will have to be built to get any $$ at all.

It will have to come from the general fund if it isn't coming from CIT. Or, we'll have to borrow it. So far, no one in the administration has answered the question of where the money is coming from.

Busting myths about the Rays stadium proposal

To address some of the misinformation out there regarding the Rays stadium development proposal, I've made this video to bust some of the biggest myths about it: youtu.be/VdI-XeAs27A

Tampa Bay Rays unveil community benefits commitments as stadium votes near

To be clear, City Council did not even see this "agreement" until almost 12 hours AFTER the paper somehow managed to report on its existence. I remain extremely concerned about the amount of secrecy and misdirection involved in this proposal. www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/...

The official community benefits agreement still needs to be approved, County Attorney Julia Mandell says in an email to commissioners Tuesday night.

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

aiddata.org

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned

Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

Stitch it on a pillow: "Just because it’s your emergency, doesn’t make it mine." Also, applies in Portland, or to any other municipality that's asked to consider subsidizing a stadium project. www.tampabay.com/viewpoints/2...

“I keep coming back to the phrase, ‘Just because it’s your emergency, doesn’t make it mine,’” council member Lynn Hurtak said during the CRA meeting. “If you aren’t coming to me, and negotiating with me and working with me and showing me reasonable progress … I really believe they’re putting a cart before the horse.”

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad suddenly 14 years ago, and the world has never been the same. Be kind and gentle with yourself. There is no right way to grieve and no linear path. May his memory help lead you as you go forward.

Where can I learn more about this pilot? We are struggling with the same issue in Tampa.

Next week we ride with the Tampa City Council's Lynn Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak @lynnhurtak.com · 22/06/2026

Are you doing one next week? We'll be in town June 26-July 2 before the annual family reunion up north and we have bikes the whole time!

Thank you for all of these recommendations! Can't wait to ride the parkway.

Would love to see you again! We have so much to catch up on.

Would also love to grab a drink/coffee/bite/bike ride with folks passionate about transit, housing, and/or good government to learn from each other!

Heading to Minneapolis again with @bubbaprog.xyz June 26-July 2 & have bikes the whole time. Thinking about seeing a different part of the city each day. Love community gardens, quirky art, coffee, dive bars, cheap eats, new bike infrastructure. Pride is #1 on our list! What else can't we miss?

We'll be in town again at the end of this month with 5 days of bike rental from UM, so this map will come in handy. Thanks for sharing!

Ten years ago, 49 community members lost their lives at Pulse nightclub. They were not the first victims of violent bigotry, but together in solidarity we can mourn our loved ones and renew our commitment to building a future where every neighbor can live in safety and with humanity.

I've stood up for the LGBTQ+ community as a city council member, and I will continue to do so as Tampa's next mayor. Every Tampeño has a right to live with dignity—and I'll enact actual policy to protect that right from threats in Tallahassee, Washington, or anywhere else.

In 2012, my husband & I got married in New York City—because marriage equality hadn't yet come to Florida and it didn't feel right to get married in a state that denied our friends that same right.

We're proud every year to put up our custom-made City of Tampa Pride Flag to show our support for anyone who is marginalized because of who they are or whom they love.

Thanks! We get around $370M from property taxes, not even enough to cover police and fire's $427M budget. Is the parks board a separate budget or part of the $2B?

Lynn Hurtak @lynnhurtak.com · 08/06/2026

Does Minneapolis get money from other sources as well? How much of the budget do property taxes cover? (Minneapolis has the same population & budget as Tampa, so I’m curious)
