I'm contacting you in response to the article in Wednesday's Tribune about the Tourist Development Council's funding of events and particularly the Pasco Bug Jam. As a former Tribune reporter, I would have thought you would have contacted Bug Jam officials for comment before printing the claims by Pasco County Commissioner Michael Cox.
