She’s the mother of a toddler who was puhsing her stroller past the road construction Thursday. Tamp..

  • Buckhorn to House: Leave Brightline alone

    Buckhorn to House: Leave Brightline alone
    Yes, there's no rail in Tampa, except for that streetcar system that runs to Ybor City. But Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn has a dream that perhaps one day his city will be the stop of a major passenger rail line. Which is why he is asking a House transportation committee to vote against HB 269, which would make the Florida Department of Transportation the regulatory power over high speed rail. Currently federal law preempts state and local rules. The new regulations are considered an attempt to kill ..

    WATCH LIVE: Chicago Blackhawks at Tampa Bay Lightning
    For quite some time this season, the Norris Trophy race felt a bit like “Brent Burns, Erik Karlsson and [insert token finalist].” As it turns out, Victor Hedman is making it a pretty interesting three-horse race. With Burns and Karlsson idle on Monday, Hedman continued to go on the best offensive tear of his already-impressive career, contributing three assists to the Tampa Bay Lightning’s 5-4 overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks. As much credit as forwards Nikita Kucherov and Jonathan ..
