Reading Signs CJ 11.25.2006

To the Editor and to the Readers of the Country Journal:

This is the second missive in a series about the recent election. I discussed “Your most valuable asset” in the first missive, published on November 18, 2006 in this publication. In this one, I will discuss the statement: “Two of the candidates seem to be making an issue, with their expensive slick signs, about the fact that two of their opponents chose to resign from the Council following a legal action taken against the Town Council”.

I have seen the signs. They had pictures of the candidates, their names, and three comments:

1) “We live here”;

2) “We work here”;

3) “& We won’t quit!”.

There was no reference to any other person(s).

A number of Town Council Members have resigned, for a variety of reasons. These two candidates might have been promising, if elected, to serve to the end of their terms. That promise is reasonable.

Since there was no reference to anyone else, there is no basis for guessing that these folk were making an issue of specific actions by anybody.

I will address the matter of ADTC Member liability for legal fees in another missive.
