Dear Editor,
Responding to junk mail is not something I have ever done but, when I received a misguided and inaccurate political piece from Peter Frusetta, I decided to express my views on his “considerations about a run for county supervisor”. His “considerations” for running for office are based on a number of accusations about local government officials in the letter.
First: In that letter he refers to “indictments for conflict of interest” in our local government. Mr. Frusetta owes it to us to tell us who that is. What official is “under indictment” as he claims? Could it be that he is just making this up?
Second: He refers to “impeachable and blackmailable affairs within the offices.” Perhaps he could enlighten us about who is being blackmailed and for what reason. I think he would actually have an obligation to do so. And what proof is there about “affairs?” I believed that someone had to have proof of their allegations before publishing statements that were damaging to another’s reputation. Surely a politician would think this way.
One quote is “the supervisors must make the decisions, not some out-of-town administrator and his “staff.” Again, there is no meaning or context for that quote.
One sentence states that “we don’t deserve the incompetence that’s going on in local government today.” Someone who does not file the correct committee papers or financial disclosures with the county for a recall would make me wonder about their ability to hold any type of office. This along with a recall campaign group that goes around placing signs on private property without the owner’s permission seems very questionable to me. It is my feeling that to throw out accusations based on rumors and innuendo, make inflammatory statements designed purely to rally support and be willing to slander people’s reputations in an attempt to reap personal gain in the way of support for a future political election, would not fall under the category of someone that I would feel would qualify to be a “competent” supervisor. Because of limitations on the length of this letter, I will write my conclusion next week.
