While I am mildly concerned to learn that this candidate is running for a spot on the LC, I am especially concerned that the Democratic Town Council sees fit to endorse this person's run for office. Are they simply desperate to fill the ticket, or do they actually embrace his behavior and language? I would expect that any voter who witnessed Mr. Hinden in action at recent town meetings would understand that he is unfit to serve the public.
This is a really astonishing Letter to the Editor. There is little, if anything, in this text that explains why you should consider voting for this individual. Rather, it is focused on highlighting a raw (now closed) issue and vilifying members of the other political party. Not to be overlooked, the discussion on certain books in Town schools was a matter handled by the Board of Education. I am still trying to understand how it has anything to do with his candidacy for Legislative Council. Vote carefully, friends.
