					<description><![CDATA[A top editor at the Tampa Bay Times fired back Wednesday after Pinellas legislators slammed the paper for calling them &#8220;Disciples of Darkness&#8221; because of transparency-related and public records measures passed this year. “I understand why they are not happy,&#8221; Tim Nickens, the Times editor of editorials, wrote in an email. &#8220;They have no respect for open government, and Florida voters have strongly supported open government for decades. They also do not like it when they are held accountable for their own voting records.’’&#8230;]]></description>
