Reader asks why no current member of the Council seems at all bothered by this subversion of the election process.
Funny that no current member of the Council seems at all bothered by this subversion of the election process. One would imagine that our elected leadership might want to maintain some level of integrity to the election process where those that seek public office aren’t personally harassed on the very day that their candidacy is certified. After all, this is the very same process that put them into office in the first place. One might imagine that as human beings they might have expressed some sympathy for what a bum deal this young man got for answering the call to public service.
Even the most cynical among us would expect at least a superficial statement from our elected officials condemning this brutally unfair and potentially illegal tactic, the timing of which is highly suspicious. So why the deafening silence?
Reader says These may be “middle school bullying tactics,” but the stakes are very high. Time to ferret out the perpetrator.
There currently is no investigation. That is the point. There should be an investigation, and it should uncover who sent the e-mail or who called the newspaper. Why wouldn’t the Council be jumping right on this? Then their names could be cleared of any suspicion and the real perpetrator could be identified.
So far the editor of the paper has refused to release the email message. Did it really exist or was it actually a phone call from our mayor?
The IP address can be tracked so the sender can be identified. If it’s anyone associated with the VOR then that person should be terminated. But I doubt it. Probably some loser with an axe to grind.

You morons, who hide behind anonymous posts attacking people by name are the real scum of the earth. And the best part is when someone else does what you have done on this stupid blog you get all indignant and demand to know who the anonymous person is….like I said your all morons.

Readers suggest *criminal* interference with Mr. Sedon’s employment
the person that contacted Mr. Sedon’s employer has crossed the line and hopefully will be exposed through a governmental investigation. In my mind, the only person or people that would do that would be:
a) somebody that was running against Mr. Sedon
b) somebody that is afraid that Mr. Sedon wouldn’t support their issue (i.e Valley or downtown overdevelopment)
I think it was probably item b and possibly item a as well.
This blog is here to counteract the hot air coming out of the government (i.e. Arohnsohn and his self-serving pronouncements) and the corporate interests.
Therefore, comparing this blog’s purpose and the probably *criminal* interference with Mr. Sedon’s employment is like comparing apples and oranges.

Outrage over email sent to candidate’s employer
Anne LaGrange Loving
To the Editor:
I was completely dismayed to learn that an anonymous coward sent an email to Village Council candidate Michael Sedon’s employer, in a blatant attempt to derail his run for public office.
