She says that Girls Incorporated of Pinellas teaches its participants to find their voices and then describes a large sign advertising the now defunct Bottoms Up Gentlemens Club.
We decided to find out what people thought about the billboard and share what we learned with citizens and community leaders, she says as the school bus passes the billboard thats the focus of the film.
The sign shows a woman on her stomach, wearing nothing but a G-string, her hourglass figure arched so that only her ample rear protrudes into the lettering of the sign. For the last couple of years, the sign has caused quiet murmurings and questions among the young girls who attend Girls Inc. Executive Director Renee McInnis said. Many see the sign every day on their way to school or to the club itself.
…
The adults would explain how the First Amendment protected the free speech of the strip club, but the explanation fell flat, McInnis said.

Buckhorn: Talking tough Ferlita’s colleague on the Tampa City Council from 1999-2003, Bob Buckhorn, also supports the ban, but he was the only candidate who issued a press release announcing it. He paid homage to one of his political heroes, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, stating that the “broken windows” theory of combating crime — which Giuliani employed to sometimes brutal effect by cracking down on crimes like aggressive panhandling — is the way to stop larger crimes.
“In my view, a panhandling environment is a disorderly environment and sends the message that people may do as they please and get away with it,” said Buckhorn in his release. “Well, that will not be the case on my watch.”
The tough talk resembles the Buckhorn from over a decade ago, when on council he led the successful fight to enact what became known as the “six-foot rule,” a law that dictates there be a six-foot distance between strippers and patrons in adult night clubs in Tampa. These days Buckhorn tries to play down his role in that legislation (which the City Council unanimously approved), and it’s debatable how significant it will be for his candidacy.

VIP Pharmacy dispensed 760,800 doses of the addictive pain pill â more than 27 times the amount of oxycodone sold by the average retail pharmacy in Florida and more than 49 times the national average, Drug Enforcement Administration statistics show.
Witnesses reported seeing wads of cash bundled with rubber bands and kept in shoe boxes, and technicians fabricating prescriptions and faking patient profiles, according to court documents. The pharmacy on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard charged a premium, up to three times the normal price at other drug stores, when the oxycodone prescriptions were forged and post-dated.
One witness saw pharmacy owner Christopher Switlyk counting cash in the back of the store with the help of three strippers, according to recently unsealed search warrant affidavits, which also describe Switlyk laundering cash from the business through a local casino.

Human trafficking victim tells Pinellas gathering of her abuse
In Print: Wednesday, January 12, 2011
BELLEAIR — The 20-year-old woman with the bright eyes and curly brown hair was dancing at a Miami strip club when she met him.
She had been sexually abused as a child growing up in foster care and yearned for love, affection, attention.
He gave it to her, at first.
She agreed to move with him to Cleveland. The first night in the new city, the man told her to change her clothes. He had a job for her to do.
“That night changed my life,” she said.
For the next four years, the woman was forced to prostitute herself in cars, alleyways and cheap motels.
The woman, whom the St. Petersburg Times is not identifying, shared her story with a rapt audience of about 125 people Tuesday at a fundraising luncheon for the International Association of Human Trafficking Investigators at the Belleair Country Club. Law enforcement authorities at the fundraiser say the woman’s story is a classic case of human trafficking.

Prostitution ring’s ‘black book’ coming to Tampa
By William R. Levesque, Times Staff Writer In Print: Tuesday, January 11, 2011
TAMPA — It’s a “black book” you won’t find at the local library.
An X-rated list with names and sexual preferences of 30,000 clients of what prosecutors call an international, high-end prostitution ring is Tampa bound. An attorney for a man charged in the case needs to see the list to prepare a defense.
Though it’s actually a massive spreadsheet on a computer disc, lawyers have taken to calling it the “black book.”
…
Federal prosecutors in Michigan in July charged DeCailly’s client, Gregory L. Carr, 44, and his ex-wife of collecting more than $4 million through a Web-based ring headquartered in Miami that charged $500 an hour for sex with prostitutes.

So when I heard that the former City Councilman on Friday had come out in support of a ban on panhandling on street corners in Tampa, I was prepared to refer to his professed admiration for Giuliani and that tough on crime mentality.
But I don’t have to, as Buckhorn himself makes reference to that in his press release:
“While I am sympathetic to the needy, we cannot allow this to continue any longer. Panhandling at any intersection puts the driver, the passengers and the needy person in harm’s way.
Whether it was street level prostitution, graffiti, open air drug dealing or code enforcement, Buckhorn has always strongly advocated tackling the small issues before they become major ones. And, true to form, Buckhorn pulls no punches and advocates a straightforward approach to dealing with panhandling.

Growth brought cookie-cutter subdivisions and Walmart to Gibsonton. The housing bubble and bust brought foreclosures and empty homes. Owners walked away from several foreclosed homes on Layton’s block, leaving the buildings and property defenseless prey for criminals, looters and vandals.
“We have drug dealers coming to use these properties to conduct business,” Layton said. “You have squatters come in. No one really had control over the situation.”
Hillsborough County Code Enforcement is trying to deal with the problem, but it’s difficult because of the sheer number of abandoned, dilapidated houses. The department gets about 8,000 calls a year about problem houses. They all start out as code enforcement problems.
“Once buildings become vacant, insecure and there’s criminal activity, they turn into condemnation,” said John FerDon, Code Enforcement senior business analyst. “All maintenance stops, there’s vandalism, drug abuse, prostitution.”
