Winners and Losers of the week in Tampa Bay

WINNER: Jackie Toledo. The Republican state legislator requested $500,000 for the NO MORE Foundation’s Human Trafficking Capacity Expansion in the Tampa Bay Area. NO MORE seeks to remove Tampa Bay from the list of top destinations for human trafficking. Toledo has been a relentless champion in fighting that scourge.

LOSER: Hillsborough Young Republicans. The group sponsored an “Intoxicating Masculinity” event to fight what the Tampa Bay Times reported, “a blatant attack and HATRED of masculinity,” by, “liberals (who think) men being manly as toxic.” The invitation featured pictures of assault rifles, a handgun, a hand grenade and a whiskey glass.
