Buddy Johnson takes a lickin' but keeps on politickin'. Even though the outgoing Supervisor presided over the most problem plagued election in the state and was simultaneously voted out of office in said election, he's considering a run to re-claim his job in 2012. Catch Sunday's Flashpoint to hear the rest of our interview. Then decide whether Johnson is adequately contrite over the litany of goofs that made Hillsborough voters send in more complaints than any other county in Florida.
Later in the show you'll hear from former Tampa Tribune columnist Daniel Ruth (who, by the way, referred to Buddy Johnson as "dumber than a box of toothpicks" in his last column). Ruth talks about the slow motion shrinkage of the once mighty Tribune and his regret at not being able to write a final column to his loyal readers. Get my take on the Ruth firing here.
See you Sunday Morning at 11:00 for Flashpoint on ABC Action News and let me know what you think.
