| Description | The biography on the www.charliecrist06.org Web site provides a history of the Republican gubernatorial candidate, touting dozens of achievements with glowing verbiage.
And it may seem a bit familiar. The reason: It's a verbatim copy of the biography on Charlie Crist's attorney general Web site -- a Web site paid for by taxpayers.
The ethics of lifting a biography from a state-run, taxpayer-financed Web site for use in a campaign is, it seems safe to say, untested territory. Crist's campaign political director Arlene DiBenigno said there was no evidence taxpayer money paid for the bio being recycled on the campaign Web site.
"We just used that same bio. It's his bio. It's just the same one he's used for a while, it's not like a state employee wrote it," she said. |
