· ⇰ Editor’s opinion:
It is important to show respect for our General Manager and duly elected
Board Members (Yes! whether they deserve it or not!). They, in turn, will show respect for you as each
statement, opinion, or frustration is presented in any public
forum; Town Hall meetings or Internet sites. We, as a community, voted these members into
office to serve us. Your VOTE on next
year’s ballot will speak your opinion on their performance in office - without malice.
