The latest tracking from the Nation Hurricane Center shows it making landfall around 1am on Thursday morning. It is currently a Cat 5 &#8212; though expected to lower to a Cat 3 before landfall (though these predictions can be wrong). Either [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The always on-the-ball Tracey McManus has filed a new story about downtown Clearwater, the City Council and scientology. It would appear that the recently elected city officials have had a bit of a wake up call. The conciliatory language they were spouting a few months ago when they were trying to get elected about how [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bruce Rector has assumed the position of mayor of Clearwater. He is off to an inglorious start. As a prominent scientologist buys the building that houses the City of Clearwater&#8217;s government offices, Rector is &#8220;hopeful the city&#8217;s relationship with the church improves, so they can work together to revitalize downtown.&#8221; I guess he hasn&#8217;t been [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Long term, prominent Clearwater scientologist Ray Cassano is pitching the sale of Emily&#8217;s restaurant. It&#8217;s been there for decades. It has direct line of sight to the Ft Harrison and SP Building. Obviously a smart move to promote this to scientologists. It&#8217;s desirable because of it&#8217;s location &#8212; even if it&#8217;s bought and sits empty [&#8230;]]]></description>

Just days after Mark Bunker was replaced on the city council, scientology&#8217;s latest, and largest single land-grab in downtown Clearwater was announced. The most prominent office building in downtown, current home to the Clearwater City Council, was purchased by Moises Agami, prominent scientologist.

He is the only real accountability scientology faces from any government official or agency in Clearwater. They intend to make Clearwater the &#8220;first scientology city&#8221; on earth.

Neither of these candidates opposing Bunker have any understanding of scientology. &#160; Mike Mastruserio: Quoting from the Times article: Mastruserio said he considers revitalizing downtown the city’s [&#8230;]]]></description>
