To The Editor:

I was genuinely taken aback to learn that a member of our Legislative Council believes that “The magnitude of the stupidity in this town is incomprehensible…”

The arrogance of this person is exceeded only by the stupidity of the explanation that he advances to justify this assertion. If this is an example of the thinking being brought to bear on issues germane to the governance of our community then I am justifiably concerned about our future as a livable, loving, supportive community. Leadership in our community deserves better representation.

Thus, I support the LC member in his recommendation that we remember to vote in November.
