EDITOR:
I was just about to write another letter to the editor about the infamous antics in Parkville, but then I read “Between the Lines” and found that you covered everything I was going to say. Except one thing. How many attorneys does a city of 6,000 people need? I know of lots of nice cities that get by with only a part-time attorney and manage to stay out of legal trouble.
This current situation in Parkville keeps getting more and more expensive, such that I have to wonder what percentage of the total city budget is going to legal fees. Hmmmm. And of course the fact that the city paid out a settlement for their mis-deeds to a plaintiff who is not even an attorney.
Hopeful that the voters of Parkville will clean house in the upcoming election.
