Based on the latest survey from St. Pete Polls, Bill Foster should be feeling pretty confident heading into the mayoral primary in three weeks, something that wasn't being said earlier this summer as his race for re-election was getting started. The poll shows him up five points over Rick Kriseman and eight over Kathleen Ford.
Fresh off a meeting with the Tampa Bay Times editorial board where he made a 180 and said he would grant the Rays' wish to speak to Tampa about a possible new stadium — an issue that never came up at the debate — Foster was in control for much of the 45-minute forum at the Roberts Recreation Center in north St. Pete on Monday night.
On the issue of community policing, Foster appeared to be smirking as he listened to his opponents describe what it is, and why it should come back to the city.
Sheriff Chuck Harmon has said that every St. Pete police officer is a community police officer, but Ford said she wants to return to the old system.
"There is a difference, and what it takes is leadership. And that's what's missing from the top," Ford said.
Kriseman admitted that he's no expert on policing and would give "great deference" to the police chief, however, he said he wanted to return to the time where there was a closer relationship between an officer and an individual neighborhood, "so when a crime occurs, you feel safer speaking to your officer."
"That's a problem that's not happening now," Kriseman added.
But the mayor would have none of that, claiming neither opponent knew what they were talking about. Foster said "there are neighborhoods that know community policing is alive and well in St Pete."
Regarding the Lens, Foster took a shot at Kriseman, saying the former Florida House representative changed his attitude after taking a poll. But he praised Ford for being consistent in her strong opposition to getting rid of the inverted pyramid structure (Ford said she supports maintaining the original Pier if a fifth level is added).
Kriseman said he's not sure where Foster stands on the issue, "because he seems to change fairly frequently." He said, in fact, Foster has been consistent in espousing his disdain for the Lens, "it's not leadership to just be against something." Kriseman said he waited to come out against the Pier until he had a plan for if the Lens goes down to defeat.
"It's easy to be against something, but you have to have a way forward," Kriseman said.
Regarding the issue of guns, Mayor Foster said even though he hasn't signed on with the Michael Bloomberg group, he is a mayor against illegal guns (that's the actual name of the national group that includes more than 1,000 mayors). He also said he was unable to work on any type of gun control laws because years ago legislation was passed in Tallahassee banning local governments from making any changes on guns.
Kriseman said he would have appreciated it if Foster supported a proposal he floated in the Legislature in 2011 that attempted to get legislative approval to allow voters of Pinellas County to decide whether or not the county should abide by the state's firearm preemption law.
The three candidates will do it all over again tonight, in the biggest debate of the campaign so far: a one-hour forum at the St. Petersburg Palladium that will be televised live on Bay News 9 at 7 p.m.
