1 Big Thing: Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Staff Writer Justin Garcia has been named to Axios Local's 2022 "Power Players" list. Garcia joined CL's full-time staff in June 2021 after launching his byline with 2019 profiles of local weirdos like John Moll and Skunk the busker, then turning his focus to the Florida penal system, housing, gay commies, police accountability and more. He most recently unearthed video of Tampa Police Chief Mary O'Connor using her badge to get out of a traffic stop, eventually forcing the troubled chief's resignation.
