Mayor Foster recently took part in an interview for 89.7 WUSF’s Florida centric news show, Florida Matters. Part of that interview aired this morning on WUSF 89.7. In the interview, Mayor Foster spoke frankly about many issues concerning St. Petersburg.
Most importantly, for the Rays minded individual that is, he spoke about Bob Buckhorn’s attempt at weaseling in on stadium discussions, the potential for a new stadium on this side of the bay, and the inane notion of trading the Rays to Hillsborough for the cruise ship industry, among other things.
I personally feel that it’s a fairly enlightening interview, though I’ll hold on to my opinions otherwise for, as the kids say, a hot minute. The interview, in its, entirety can be streamed here. The part of the interview most pertinent to Rays fans starts at the 8:45 minute mark, and lasts a little more than five minutes.
