Did a Tampa-based Political Consultant Secretly Participate in the Redistricting of Manatee County?

Information gathered by TBT raises questions as to whether commissioner-connected political operative, Anthony Pedicini, played a secretive role in drawing maps submitted in the county’s redistricting process.

There are at least two email addresses published on the internet for Anthony Pedicini. The first—which is an older email address—is anthony@imagemgmt.com, and the other is anthony@simwins.com. "Simwins" refers to Pendicini’s political consulting firm, Strategic Image Management.
