Dear Editor: I am not one to usually write letters in your paper regarding elections, but I felt the need to do so on the upcoming 4thWard election. No, I do not live in the 4th Ward; I reside in the 3rd Ward. Tim Occhipinti, although he is new to politics, has a fresh view …
Dear Editor: In the frenzy of a critical election that will determine the future of 4th Ward and the city at large, it is easy to focus on the candidate and overlook the person.
