"Which leads to this bit of unfortunate news: Your money is being flushed away.

"These are your tax dollars being wasted,'' said Dot Clark, the Pinellas official who coordinates charter applications. "When you have a group with a record of not being successful and you're not allowed to consider that when they're asking for more money? When you think of it that way, it's almost criminal the Legislature allows it.''
