Today, Tampa City Council shot down four of Mayor Jane Castor's attempts to block voters from deciding on potential changes to the city's charter. But three council members voted against giving the public the right to vote on giving the police citizens review board an independent attorney. The votes came after Castor blindsided council members in a Tampa Bay Times Op-Ed, which said that she was vetoing council's past decision to leave the suggested changes up to the voters.
