Response to Mr. Herrera’s letter

To the Editor:

In response to Mr. Herrera’s letter about our town, I did some research on this Sunshine Report he mentioned. This report leads back to a website called Ballot Pedia. It is a computerized site that picks up news articles about cities and rates them by the number of news articles written about the particular municipality. There is no person, or group of people behind this site. It makes no mention of the Mayor opening his door to any person in this town daily, and every Tuesday night, for those who don’t have the time to come during the day.
If this is the type of effort you will put into being a councilman, I’d hate to see what our city will be like with you running. Speaking of which, how will you make it to all the council meetings, caucuses and other city functions when you are a student in Washington, D.C. for the next three years? Unless, you own a private jet, do you? Take it from this old timer, try to acquire a job and rise through the ranks to manager, then you can make an argument to why you should be elected to public office.
