Follow-up Question to Moffitt
Quote:
"Other residents of The Villages and I have become concerned about some of the fund-raising actions alleged by the Orlando Sentinel to have been undertaken on behalf of your organization by the developer of The Villages. Would you be good enough to help allay these concerns by answering the following question: Would you please disclose the details of all contracts, arrangements, or other understandings between Moffitt and any member of the Morse family, or any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other entity controlled by the Morse family or any member thereof? Please specifically include any contract, arrangement, or other understanding that could financially benefit any of the foregoing because of fund-raising efforts on behalf of Moffitt or because of Moffitt's establishing a presence in The Villages. To assist you in putting this matter to rest, I will be glad to forward your response to the Property Owners' Association for publication in its Bulletin and will post your response on the TalkofTheVillages website. Thank you for your anticipated response." |

Moffitt Response to Follow-up Question
Quote:
"Thanks for your e-mail. Our contract with CFHA is not a matter of public record as it is information relating to a private contractual agreement. However, if there is information you are requesting that is not confidential we would be happy to share it with you if you would like to provide some specific questions. Thanks, Michelle" |

Maybe these donations already given to the developer's organization (is it really certifiably an organization? I couldn't find anything about it in searching the web) should incorporate to become a third party in this "contractual agreement." Why not? Monies donated blindly where people were so misled should know what the "deal" is with their money and have some say in negotiations. |
This is not meant to be a negative comment, but it is the response I expected. The request really was asking for confidential information. Maybe we could all brainstorm to see what information we truly want and what questions we think we can get answers to. I'd say that once we have some reasonable questions, it would be time to email Moffitt again and see what is said.
Some of my questions are: 1) What will Moffitt-TV offer that Leesburg-TV doesn't offer, if anything (this one should definitely be answerable). 2) How are Moffitt Centers usually funded -- all donations, public funding, equipment purchased by Moffitt or one of its subsidiaries or a combination? |
I agree that it was a request for legitimately confidential information. To add to Red's suggested questions, I would add:
Since Moffitt will not own the equipment, what direct benefit will Moffitt derive from fund raising effort? |
Follow the Money

Following is her response: Hi Jack, The monies raised in The Villages will be used for the Moffitt Cancer Center at The Villages Health System and will not be shared with the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. All of the equipment purchased for The Villages Cancer Center will be owned by The Villages Health System and not Moffitt. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to reach out again. Best, Michelle |
