I say again- if the cops had an issue with Newman they should have discussed it and tried to find a solution. To endorse the ENTIRE Bain slate WAS a political statement. I had maybe a total of 35 minutes of conversation with Newman and he was relentlessly positive about annexation all three times I spoke with him. He had a few reservations about it, as did I. To use a dispute with one candidate as an excuse to back the entire slate of Billy is hard to understand. How can that NOT be political? Are you sure it wasnt more about promises of take-home cars and a new police station, in addition to all those new career oppurtunities? All are worthwhile projects - the question is whether the taxpayers can afford them. Dr. Mel P. Johnson
