Jack Gurney — former Sarasota City Commissioner … and wasn’t he the Mayor for a while too? — is BACK … in a BIG way already! — at Sarasota’s Pelican Press newspaper. His front page cover story this week reports on whether or not “Mayor Kelly Kirschner violated state procurement guidelines” when he made a certain call to a Tampa parking meter vendor recently. Yikes and Yowza — read the piece here: Jack is Back and Hotter than Ever Reporting on our Local Mayor!
And not a moment too soon.
He’s covering the City beat, mostly, I think and in conjunction with Stan — the Man — Zimmerman who covers County, mostly — the Pelican Press is hotter than ever.
‘Course, ya know — I used to write for the Pelican Press too … wah, wah, wah — and now I see in this week’s paper, they’ve got some new columnists/contributors sprouting up. I miss that gig dearly … but wish these new writers as much fun as I had when I was part of the ink on those pages.
