Bianca Latvala's conflicts of interest continue to make her a bad addition the city council. Her most recent financial disclosure statement reveals she receives money from the Important Work PAC, which is backed by Porter Development. This is the company that made The Landings proposal that threatens the character of the golf course and surrounding community.

In Addition, Bianca donated money to Sam Wilson (who does not oppose giving away South Garden Ave to the Church of Scientology) under her maiden name Bianca Sabrkhani.

Bianca Latvala has lost another endorsement from a Clearwater City Councilmember. It's David Allbritton this time. You can see her response in her post, but her complaints are as illegitimate as her candidacy.

Read Bianca's statement carefully. Bianca's not saying she supports keeping the Gardens public for just the the city of Clearwater, which should be her priority. She's saying the city "should have delayed the vote to allow time to evaluate the County's downtown redevelopment plans and pursue a compromise that served Clearwater's long-term interests."

Why is Bianca considering the county plans and downplaying the city's interests with a compromise? Because she's playing both sides.

I've posted much of this stuff before, but it's worth repeating.

Listen carefully to what Bianca's said in candidate forums. Bianca's not saying she supports keeping the Gardens public. She's saying she wants to hear all sides. It's very likely she would pretend to be open-minded and then side with Scientologists after she got on the council because she had given the APPEARANCE of being fair. Once she had, she could vote for the Scientologists and use their arguments to say they are very rational AND KEEP voting for them in the future.

In addition, her husband Chris Latvala sits on the Pinellas County Commission and has tried to influence the city council's vote on the Gardens because the county has an interest in those properties.

You gotta wonder... If Chris Latvala is trying to influence this, what other strings will he try to pull? He's an outside influence trying to steer Clearwater in a way that benefits Pinellas County and NOT specifically the city residents. If Bianca (who didn't grow up in Clearwater and is only in local politics because she's employed by the Latvalas and married to Chris) gets on the council, Chris gets a puppet that votes the way Pinellas County does instead of pursuing the interests of city residents.

Bianca's a fake Clearwater resident who would replace Clearwater's interests with a desire to turn it into a playground for outside businesses that hire from outside the city and the Church of Scientology. She positions herself as an outsider, but she married into a family with ties to uncounted shady special interests that want power for themselves and aren't acting in the name of the city's residents and businesses. She's literally a PROXY for establishment politicians, specifically a flailing dynasty that's stressing about losing power.

Her position on the Gardens and future of public properties is unclear. Do you want someone on the council WHO CAN'T EVEN MAKE HER POLITICAL PRIORITIES CLEAR?!

NOBODY wants the scientologists here, but Bianca's not going to help get rid of them. NOTHING would get done while she's on the council because she's a flipflopper who would pass bullshit rules that do little except help Scientologists, out-of-state developers, and Big Money special interests.

I wouldn't vote for someone this dubious. Bianca is supposed to be accountable to you, but she's acting like she wants to be your voice without understanding what you're saying. When candidates have vague positions like this, it's our responsibility to question them on it and call them out on their deceitful ways. Do your research before casting your ballot.
