Even the casual reader knows

the editor and the current mayor are joined at the hip. Instead of using

the system to make a contribution to the good of our community they want

to, in the editors case, sell more papers, and the current mayor's case,

feed that overriding ego.

Every time the current mayor

is ethically questioned, he always has a quick response. Recently the

culprit was a tardy repairman. Earlier a troublesome button that sent

him into a panic. (If I may ask a question, if a lost button causes a

panic, how would you, as a mayor, react to a real life-threatening situation?)

The previous paragraph leads

to the ethics question. Mr. Brown's answer was that the owner of a clothing

store allowed him to take a sports coat off the rack, use it for the day

and return it to the rack. Hmmm, unethical in my day, but not maybe in

today's world. The legal ramifications are to be questioned?
