Tampa Rail Comment Brigade

Active Target Conversations

The battle field is quiet. For now.

What is the Brigade?

Many Tampa area news outlets allow for open public commentary in comment sections associated with indidvidual stories.

The anti-transportation choice lot in Hillsborough County has long dominated these high profile convsersations in any story covering the advance of rail, and indeed, any pro urban living vision story for Hillsborough County that happens to run. The Tampa Rail Comment Brigade consists of TR readers like you willing to show up and punch back. Retort, refute, bury, and make clear to the majority casual readers: Support for rail in Hillsborough County is the dominant reality.
