Ajakk, can you explain to me, in your words what is really ailing you about this plan? Personally I don't see how more cancer care, regardless of the exact specifics, is bad.
Russ, I have never said I was against the Moffitt affiliate in TV. What I have always tried to get across is the means used to get donations. We were told it would take donations to get the affiliate here, it won't. We were told the developer donated the land and building, he didn't. Daily Sun bombards us repeatedly with heart-wrenching stories meant to play on the goodness of Villagers. They also stated a cancer patient went to Tampa for cancer treatment, she didn't it was Shands. All this misrepresentation to play on our hearts knowing the sympathy card could not be played with a full disclosure. I also resent being asked to help open a business to compete with an already-established one who paid their own way to be able to serve us here in TV. Against Moffitt no, against Villagers being taken advantage of, yes.
