Busansky Hits Bilirakis on Homeowners Insurance, Receives St. Pete Times Endorsement

In the 9th Congressional District, former Hillsbrough County Commissioner Phyllis Busansky's underdog campaign continues to hammer on State Representative Gus Bilirakis in her latest ad for taking contributions from the insurance industry and then failing to effectively address skyrocketing insurance.

Her campaign was buyoed on Monday, October 16 by the endorsement of the St. Petersburg Times. The time was highly critical of Bilirakis, calling his record as a legislator "unimpressive" and arguing that his campaign to succeed his father makes Congress is being treated like "a family business."
