| Description | Good news on the local election front (unless you happen to be a candidate): Joe Redner is seriously considering another run for office.
Tampa's strip club king — and recent haunter of Congress with his beer-brewing rock star of a son Joey on a beer tax issue — sounds feisty following his battle into remission from Stage 4 lung cancer. At 72, he is fiery Joe again, and checking the newspaper for who's running where.
"I wouldn't mind running against Ronda Storms," he says when I mention the fire-and-brimstone former state senator as a for-instance, since she is also rumored to be considering a run. "I would have no problem with that."
City Council? County Commission? Not mayor — Bob Buckhorn, once Joe's nemesis over that rule to keep dancers and customers 6 feet apart, is to Joe's eye doing "a hell of a job." He also likes Mary Mulhern, a City Council member who wants to be a county commissioner. And what's the point of running against someone who would vote like him? "I want to be able to change something," says Joe. |
