From the Dais

Drew Street

We passed some changes to Drew Street after seven years of the neighborhood asking for relief from the dangerous traffic.

Land Swap

There's been years of debate over how to deal with Scientology downtown. They secretly purchased the majority of buildings starting in 2017 and have left them empty since then.

Scientology Meddling in Downtown

Nothing made me angrier than to discover that Scientology drove an affordable housing project out of our downtown behind our backs. The developer dropped the project after constant pressure from Scientology and only the city manager and the mayor were aware of what was happening.

Scientology Arbitration

I will often use my closing comments to talk about a Scientology issue in the news. Too often, courts will force former members to go through Scientology's phony arbitration process instead of going to trial. One judge asked about the use of coercion and seemed to understand the issue...before sending the case to arbitration.

Underhanded Attempt to Stop Drew Street

After the council approved safety changes to traffic in the Drew Street neighborhood, our former mayor and our chamber of commerce, Amplify Clearwater, went behind our backs to try unsuccessfully to sabotage the project from the state level.

Scientology Deception

When reporter Tracey McManus was working on a story about a front man being used to purchase and develop property in our marina district, her questions enraged Scientology spokesperson Ben Shaw who forwarded his angry responses to City Hall.
