					<description><![CDATA[I wonder how much outrage you would have if a George Soros funded group had commissioned this report.   

Why is it so hard to believe (or does it just scare you) that two groups who have made it a point to demand accountably and transparency from government could work together to basically do the job the press in this state has repeatedly failed to do.   Where have the leading journalist been on investigating this failed cronyism program call Enterprise Florida? Why haven]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wow Peter - You&#039;re bias here is so thick it&#039;s hard to even wade through. In one paragraph you claim AFP supports &quot;funneling&quot; taxpayer dollars to businesses and in the next you say it&#039;s no surprise we would oppose it.  We are very straight forward about the principles we advocate for, and we are consistent in their application. We don&#039;t bend our stance on policy based on who the benefactor is, despite whatever insinuations you or others in the media may make. 

We are proud of our partnership with Integrity Florida in bringing to light the issues surrounding Enterprise Florida and the policy of using tax dollars as business subsidies.  This is an issue that needs to be examined. The issues raised in the report deserve to be addressed by the legislature. 

We actually put our name on the report and stood next to Integrity Florida at the press conference, which is far more than can be said for the other organizations in Tallahassee that release reports but never tell you who funded them. Do you believe that, because other groups don&#039;t disclose the names of the groups that paid for their work, they have more integrity than Integrity Florida does?  It&#039;s interesting to see so many criticizing transparency, including Dykman who continues to be quoted in stories despite his statements that he despises AFP showing his clear bias against our group. I wonder what your story would say if we hadn&#039;t put our name on the report?]]></description>
