Not sure how I missed this outstanding editorial at KeysNews.com (the Citizen) about single-member districts. Glad I finally found it though. In her letter to the editor, Comm. Heather Carruthers’s seemed to suggest that excluding working folks from the Board … Continue reading
Letter to the Editor Supports Plaintiffs
Update: The letter is online at the Blue Paper now, too. And, yes, of course I commented. Can’t help myself. Lawyers can be very silly and melodramatic sometimes. They must learn it in school. A few weeks back the County … Continue reading
