Tampa Escorts: St. Petersburg City Council member Jeff Danner faces Leonard Schmiege in …

October 24, 2009

Danner, 49, says he came to public service naturally. He was a carpenter and contractor working on historic homes in and around Historic Kenwood who occasionally found himself amazed at land-use decisions made by city boards. Friends encouraged him to serve on the boards himself, so eventually he did.
Danner said he remembers when it wasn’t easy to find a restaurant that would stay open for dinner in downtown St. Petersburg on a Saturday night. He, his wife and friends made a point to patronize the ones that did.
So the council was a logical next step for him four years ago, he said.
Danner said he has worked to revitalize the Grand Central area and to bolster 34th Street businesses affected by drugs and prostitution. He is now focusing heavily on transportation issues, serving on the boards of the Pinellas Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority and the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority.
