 One Florida Mayor has more on her mind than where all that oil in the Gulf is eventually headed, but it does seem that tourism is something that she’s considering.

Mayor Pam Iorio of Tampa sent a letter to President Obama last week asking for a little bit of help, because she wants her city to start air service to Cuba.

Specifically, she wants Tampa to get the government seal of approval to start authorized flights between the island and Tampa.

Right now only Miami, New York, and Los Angeles are authorized to fly nonstop routes to Havana, but remember that doesn’t mean that any American can just hop on board to check out Cuba.

There’s still all kinds of rules and regulations that leave most of us out of the fun, or at least force Americans to head to Canada before they can enjoy freshly rolled cigars and too many Cuba Libres.

Iorio points out that Tampa has a large Cuban population, and that the city and its residents would benefit from the availability of a new route.

The President has already loosened the rules on travel to Cuba, but we’re thinking with all the other potential issues involving Florida on his plate, that this request is going to sit in Obama's inbox for a bit.
