From the rear cover
PRAISE FOR THE SEAMLESS CITY
The Seamless City tells Mayor Baker s story, but it also provides a road map. It is an example of how preparation, planning, persistence, and a passion for service can move America s cities closer to the goal of becoming seamless places where citizens in all neighborhoods enjoy safe streets, reliable infrastructure, a high quality of life, and the opportunity to pursue their dreams.
Jeb Bush
Rick Baker transformed a city with a history of divisive challenges into a thriving community by cracking down on crime, implementing public-private partnerships, and improving the quality of life. No other conservative Republican that I m aware of can say they won 90 percent of the vote in the core, predominantly African-American Democratic precincts in his re-election. St. Petersburg s revival wasn t a miracle it was a mission that Rick Baker undertook with all his considerable energy, innovation, and determination.
John Avlon, author and senior political columnist for The Daily Beast
Mayor Rick Baker applied a businessman s principles to identify the problems of the city, to analyze and select the best solutions, and then focus on leading the community to achieving those goals. As both a business manager and leader, he led a renaissance in St. Petersburg, Florida. Politicians, please read this book!
Tom James, Executive Chairman of Raymond James Financial, Inc.
Rick Baker does a superb job drawing on his experiences as mayor of St. Petersburg and the turnaround he led in that city s fortunes. All of us, whether in the private sector or government service, can learn something about leadership from the lessons in this book.
Mitt Romney
