The evolution of a mayor, 1974-present?
In Tampa these days, playing “Will Dick Greco run for mayor in 2011?” is getting to be nearly a full-time sport, the rumors are just that hot-and-heavy. So I picked up the telephone and gave him a call and asked him, “Are you getting ready to run for mayor – yet again?”
The answer?
Scott, now on City Council after a stint on the Hillsborough County Commission, says he will make his future plans known at a Monday news conference. The Times’ Janet Zink reports that it is widely expected to be a mayoral campaign:
Tampa City Council chairman Tom Scott will announce plans “about his political future,” at a news conference Monday. Scott is widely expected to run for mayor in 2011, though he declined to confirm that today.
“A lot of people have been asking questions about my intent. I look forward to sharing that on Monday and put everybody’s mind to rest,” he said.
