					<description><![CDATA[The latest reporting from Tracey McManus highlights the tensions in the city as they try to deal with the maneuverings of David Miscavige.

					<description><![CDATA[Another recent story from Tracey McManus, Scientology&#8217;s David Miscavige discusses &#8216;partnership&#8217; with Clearwater recounts a recent meeting between Miscavige, the Mayor Frank Hibbard, the new City Attorney David Margolis and new City Manager Jon Jennings. It was typical Miscavige, all smiles, handshakes and positivity to try to persuade the new guys in town that he is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The latest Tracey McManus article  on scientology ran yesterday, announcing that Aaron Smith-Levin is running to join Mark Bunker on the Clearwater City Council. Unfortunately, the editor chose a photo that featured me more prominently than Aaron and some thought I was running (I do not live in Clearwater so am not eligible to serve on [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; Tracey McManus article reporting on a meeting David Miscavige had with the Clearwater Mayor and City Attorney last week isn&#8217;t very revelatory on the surface. But I will try to read between the lines and explain the significance of this meeting based on scientology policy and my experience. The first thing to know [&#8230;]]]></description>

There is another piece in the Tampa Bay Times (top of article screencapped above) this morning. It makes some interesting points &#8211; first of which is noting Bunker&#8217;s &#8220;desire [&#8230;]]]></description>
