New Definition For Consumer Groups

There is a reason Charlie Crist's office doesn't send me press releases. The list of "consumer groups" Crist met with is rather amusing.


But a few paragraphs down comes the explanation that Crist met “with representatives of the following consumer groups: Associated Industries of Florida, Florida Association of Realtors, Florida Bankers Association, Florida Chamber of Commerce, Florida Home Builders Association, Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association and Florida Retail Federation.”


That is the first time I have ever heard of the business-friendly Florida Chamber of Commerce mistaken for a consumer advocacy group

Press spokeswoman Erin Isaac contacted the Tampa Tribune's William March and said, "That’s my mistake. Those are business groups."

The imporatnce of a good PR person doing damage control.
