Foster Fires Back at Tampa Bay Times

The Tampa Bay Times, which is no fan of St. Pete Mayor Bill Foster, published an editorial last week titled, "Foster's credibility problem."  This morning, the paper printed Foster's op-ed reply. 

He writes, on the Rays issue:

(T)he difference between the Times' opinion and mine is crystal clear. I have and will continue to put the St. Petersburg and Pinellas taxpayers, who have invested hundreds of millions of dollars, first. The Times and I do agree on one thing — the Rays should open their books for city review. Until then, it is clear that the entire Tampa Bay area must support the team in its current home if a future anywhere in the region is to be contemplated.
