You can always read it on-line, which is what I do . . . . Just a
suggestion, not an argument! I think a letter would be excellent‹the lette
r
Kate Hinnant sent to the Spectator about the backed-out-of debate (which th
e
Leader-Tel would not print any letters on) made some points that could be
usefully expanded on with this wrapper deal in mind.
Letters about the election in the days leading up to an election‹sheesh, wh
y
should any local newspaper want to entertain THOSE?
