Deveron Gibbons releases summary of four-point 'Gibbons plan'

ST. PETERSBURG -- You might have seen the topics highlighted in Deveron Gibbons' television spot: public safety, no new taxes, creating jobs, open government.

Today, the St. Petersburg mayoral candidate's campaign is starting to release some of the details behind each plank. You can read a summary here. The campaign says it will release more detailed information on each point, starting with public safety on Monday, in the coming weeks.

Here's the news release announcing the Gibbons plan.

UPDATE: Eric Jotkoff, communications director for the Florida Democratic Party, offers his thoughts on Gibbons' plan:  "Might be better to call it slick propaganda, from the same Republican lobbyists who are running and bankrolling Gibbon's campaign, as it seems generous to call the five pages of cliché platitudes a plan."
