Letters from Readers

I urge those who are reading this newsletter to send an email expressing their opinions on subjects. When a reader sends one, it will be included if I find it relevant and I have adequate space. I may edit the letter because of length and clarity. You don’t have to agree with me to have your letter in Friends & Neighbors. All you must do is send it to TOM CAMPENNI or fill out the form on the website.   Richard Birkenwald I just read the latest edition of Friends & Neighbors. At the last election John Tompeck was dethroned by Frank Tidikis, by a vote of 644 to 613. I was one of the 644 who voted for Frank. All of the sudden we had a voice on the commission, unlike previous commissions. Frank does his homework. I completely support his work on the commission. The others, including the manager, not so much. Lots of lies told. Lots of dishonnesty. You have biased opinions regarding Sewalls Point, and current commissioners. You probably are not aware of it but I am. It's not the first time you refer to Campos and his Mayberry analogy. I was ecstatic when he resigned. Try to be factual if you can, instead of relying on stereotypes. That's lazy writing.   Andy Noble Chris Collins is a fly-by-night self-promoting opportunist who drapes himself shomehow as a cpnservative? He's reckless, a do-nothing, thoughtless, small-minded local political hack who has accomplished NOTHING like so many other politicians today who get elected and are obstuctionis or simply ineffective as supposed representatives of we, the people??? He doesn't think he is accountable to anyone else but God-of which he is-and his contemptuous behavior and arrogance fail any morality test! Chris knows NOTHING about communicating effectively and the necessity to need to do so in leadrship of anything in our country, county, or city of Stuart today. I'd much rather have Stacey Hetherington (or about anyone else) along with her solid 8 yrs of experience and consensus-building and effective leadership than this phony-fake destroyer who represents nothing but complacency and obstructionism. I will be joining the fight to ACTIVELY keep Boss Collins fromachieving his next oart-time fantasy of bringing his destructive self-serving clownshow from Stuart to our Martin County government, invoking more of his 'holier than thou' sermon from his wife and constiuents.
