The New Yorker on Pam Iorio: described as ‘unimaginative’ but sounds ‘almost visionary’
February 4, 2009 at 1:11 pm by Wayne GarciaThe view of Tampa Mayor (and possible US Senate candidate) Pam Iorio from the lofty perch of The New Yorker and its reporter, George Packer?
Iorio had been described to me as a competent, unimaginative public servant, but in our conversation she sounded almost visionary. “If there can be any good from this economic calamity, that is occurring, it is causing us to reassess ourselves as a country, as a state, as a city,” she said.
Iorio’s transit plans were touted in the article in this week’s magazine that details the Florida real-estate market as a Ponzi scheme.
