Go to 19:50 on this video. What do you think? We were at the meeting. When Holt started to speak he put up a slide show and left it up the entire time we was speaking. His face and the faces of the county commissioners were never shown on public TV. Thank you ABC Action News for bring this to the public.

See below for more Photos 

Here is the FACE of HATE – Holt after he finished speaking.

Dishing with Mark and Carrie, A Call to ACTION 1-17-19

A CALL TO ACTION

Closed By DESIGNED HATE

Hamburger Mary’s in historic Ybor City closed by selective non truths from some agency you rely to be truthful. The Hillsborough County Health Dept sent out False allegations to media outlets against the hamburger chain this past November siting a Hepatitis A outbreak because of an employee.

The owners/ management team/ employees all had to go and get Hepatitis vaccine shots.

NOW it is a Time of Action for our community. The Hillsborough County Commissioners at the Thursday, January 24th Meeting in the Commissioners Meeting. They have asked Doctor Holt to appear and explain his side.

The open meeting is at 9am. Registering to speak starts at 8:30

One House Down, by Gianna Russo

The candid poems in Gianna Russo’s One House Down are grounded in experiences of ambivalence and oneness, not unlike those we sometimes find in true love. Russo ruminates on the past and scrutinizes the present in her hometown of Tampa with honest affection, concern, anger and delight. She asks an essential question: How can we treasure a place whose history and values have sometimes supported injustice? And if those wrongs are still evident today—then what? With family roots in Tampa that go back over a century, Russo skillfully pursues an answer in these inventive, surprising poems.

Due out in October 2019. https://madvillepublishing.com/fall-2019-spring-2020/
