Default I am concerned that they tried to scam us.

IS it a scam? Undecided, but it was proposed by lying to us. I have a friend who was treated at the Boissenault center and she was thrilled with her treatment there. She disagrees with the claim that they will have a better caliber of treatment equiptment at Moffit. I have no problem with Morse opening his own treatment center but I do have a problem with the way it was touted as offering something new that was unavailabe today.

As a former radiation therapist I know that the field is quite lucrative. As a new resident I am not sure whether the incidence of cancer in TV warrants another center or not. What I do know is that the request for money to equipt the center was done using tactics which are not completely truthful. This upset me. It makes me wonder if my subscription to the Daily Sun is money well spent.

Each Villager needs to make up their own mind on whether they want to contribute to equip the Moffit Center or not. They need to decide whether the Villages doing things to interupt The Relay for Life activities since the organizers refused to give the money raised to the Moffit Center was an ethical, moral or just action.

I personally am leaning towards believing it was not an honest effort on behalf of the Developer. I am disappointed that TV residents were considered guillable enough to accept this proposal without analyzing it. The residents of TV left behind many careers which required education that would make them perfectly competent to come to informed decision on issues. I wonder if that education was not considered when this campaign commenced.
