Poe had better hurry up and get all the homeless set up in hotel rooms. And get them some proper hurricane party supplies so that they don’t feel stigmatized.
Gainesville needs a new mayor.
Yes, but NOT Ward.
Out with ALL the old and in with the new.
Belarsky has much more business sense and is a better candidate.
With our tax $$$$$$$$, I think this should be on a donation only process. Let’s see how well the demonrats perform then.
He can hand out those crack pipe kits and the illegals are bringing in the fentanyl.
Why is a tropical storm offshore a statewide emergency?
Winds are expected to go from 40 to 140 mph over the next 48 to 60 hours. As far as the emergency order, it prevents price gouging, among other things. The track is still fairly uncertain at this point (most of the state has the potential to be affected, possibly). People in Tampa are probably most at risk based on the current forecasts and models.
