I think you probably know I am not shy of raising issues with S Nicholas, but I try to be fair. She and other local reps do have a duty to behave well, behave appropriately and to respond to public concerns. I share Howards conern about poison pen letters and personal abuse, though, and also subscribe to the Innocent until proven Guilty line. Mandie - please do not believe you are being singled out - but we all - you included - have the right to express, courteously, our opinions, and to be honest that's all I see happening here. Having said that, if the account of hissy fits and inappropriateness is true, it's obviously not what one would expect of a local official rep.
I do have some thoughts, as well, about recent humourless postings, though. Sometimes a step back, a smile, and a gracious attitude form a better and more positive defence and create a better memory in peoples minds......................
