GoHillsborough enabling lies and insults


From the new GoHillsborough web site
Lots of platitudes with the right attitude.  But threatened?



Then there's this from the Tribune February 13th.



February 7 post spreading lies and misinformation about NoTaxForTracks

February 7 comment slamming the Governor

Then there's this:

Feb 8 comment about Tea Party out to destroy Tampa Bay








Similarly, what are the implications for the Facebook page?


Where is the oversight?



  1. For ignorant rubes too clueless to figure out what the county means by "no trolling" at these mass transit events...

    They are specifically referring to foaming-at-the-mouth ideologues who show up to a mass transit meeting and scream and disrupt the event, while demanding with a straight face that the county's urban residents who are demanding transit, keep paying taxes which are funneled to more endless road construction and sprawl in outlying areas.

    These loudmouthed jerks who show up and disrupt these events will never be regarded as anything but the trolls and out of touch lunatics they have demonstrated themselves to be over the course of decades of public "debate" about regional transportation.

    It's simple common sense. Anyone who is ideologically opposed to something, by definition, cannot possibly be part of a constructive solution for that issue. If you choose to reject something like "living in an urban area"... No problem, that's your choice in life... But stay the hell out of the way of the people who do live that lifestyle and value it and see purpose in investing their taxes towards it. How dare you try to meddle in the lives of others.

    This is why you are vigorously opposed by many in the community, and this is why the opposition to your ignorant, wholly self serving agenda will only grow and become even more aggressive in rejecting your backwards, outmoded and demonstrably failed perspective.

    1. If this is Jason - hey Jason! Did your comment on get deleted?
      The Consent of the Concerned:
      Hillsborough 2010: 58% - 42% Referendum defeated
      Pinellas 2014: 68% - 32% Referendum defeated
      Polk 2014: 72% - 28% Referendum defeated
      Alachua 2014: 60% - 40% Referendum defeated
      Who won at the only poll that matters - the ballot box?

  2. It continues to be that the Calverts are denying the truth. There are plenty of articles out there about how the GOP, including those who support Tea Party principles, has waged war against public transit in favor of pushing their own pro-road interests. Perhaps I should start pulling up article by article so that this can be known by everyone.

    1. If this is Walter - hey Wally! Truth speaks for itself from the Consent of the Governed - see response to previous comment.

  3. Of course they are who they are Sharon. We buses can see right through them. It's time for Walt to be shut down for good. Let's call on Jamison Fiebrandt, Walt's Navy pal, to get involved. - The Truth Bus #911.
