When I, your TR publisher, left Tampa for New York City in 2008, I vowed to address the problem of maintaining relevant local content. I have several ideas for accomplishing this but by far the strategy of opening up the Tampa Rail platform to the public is the most important.
Here is a list of ways I am providing for many of you to control content at Tampa Rail:

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.
