@oliviacgeorge @spj_tweets @SPJFla @TB_Times Your work is amazing. Well deserved and there will be many awards to come!

@TimesDan @TB_Times See, I went for Pizza Hut. Will it arrive before the returns? The suspense..... this is my last election as a journo. If this were the movies something awful would happen. Fortunately it's reality.

The Hillsborough schools tax is still in contention. But, at least for now, it is headed to the ballot. Tick tick. https://t.co/ZmVYbuAmNy

@kellyr1914 It can be appealed to the 2nd District Court. The County Commission would have to take a vote on that. Their last vote on the tax was 4-3.

I honestly believe the Tampa Bay Times online voter guide this year is the most useful one we've ever done. You can filter to races you're eligible to vote in and save your picks. And 96% of candidates participated.

Teach in Tampa? Many are teaching in Pinellas or Pasco instead as Hillsborough tries to offer equal pay. https://t.co/sn86nHUBGR
