Starting Ware's Creek dredging with a splash

Ware’s Creek dredging begins in June?

I can hear everybody’s reaction.

I’ll believe when I see it.

That is, when they stick the first shovel into the slop off of Virginia Drive, scoop it out and get down to actual work.

Or when Pat Glass and Bill Evers jump off the bridge into the creek.

Say what?

That’s coming from Glass, the doyenne of Manatee County politics.

Back in the 1980s, when she was a county commissioner and Evers was “Boss Hog,” Bradenton’s mayor, discussions about fixing Ware’s Creek began picking up steam.

Evers said they actually started when he was a councilman before that.

Anyway, anticipating the long, drawn out bureaucratic battle lying before them, Glass said she made a crazy promise.
