Yes. The answer is yes.

Maple Street Biscuit Company is really slated to move into The Local 662. Reminisce with us as the venue holds its final concerts.

Rick Baker has big GOP money behind run for St. Petersburg mayor

ST. PETERSBURG — A campaign filing late Friday offered a first glimpse behind some of the titans shoveling mountains of cash into the St. Petersburg’s mayoral race, widely assumed to be poised to break all records for campaign spending in the Sunshine City.

This week, Rick Baker, a former Republican mayor challenging incumbent Democrat Rick Kriseman announced a record-breaking $553,174 haul in three weeks after entering the race on May 8.

Kriseman, who has been officially raising money through his Sunshine political action committee since December 2015, quickly announced he had topped $500,000, including $110,000 in May.

Now come the details  — at least for Baker.

Amabassador and GOP fundraiser Mel Sembler gave big to the former mayor of the Sunshine City. So did Baker's boss, Tampa Bay Rowdies owner Bill Edwards. Ron Wanek, the Ashley Furniture founder, also ponied up. As did James MacDougald, a health care financial entrepreneur and Jonathan Stanton, a constructive executive.

They all gave $25,000 to Baker’s bid to return to the mayor’s office, a post he held between 2001 and 2010.

Baker also got plenty of cash from a host of political action committee and groups.
