EDITOR:

I wanted to commend you on the outstanding community service you provided with true first class journalism regarding the jail bond issue. Moreover, the real kudos go to the voters.

Dale Brouk vs. a neighbor’s ‘false accusations’

This is how journalism should work today. That doesn’t happen without well informed citizens. In that regard you did exemplary work.

Even where I am watching at 50,000 feet the whole thing smelled like a three day old room temperature carp.

For me, I think Gordon Cook’s financial breakdown sealed it. (He would be a good mayor.) Along with all the letters you received.

I sat on a board with Gordon in Parkville. I’d go through 200 people before I would tangle with him.

You need to celebrate— maybe some Bud Lights with Speckman—- or not!

Keep up the good work.
