Writer Defends Councilman Donald Wilson
Editor,
You have said some harsh
things about Councilman
Donald Wilson. I would like to
say that I have known Donald
Wilson for years and I respect
his opinion. I am sure that
many people in his ward know
of his dedication to the city.
How does Mr. Beardsley know
who Donald Wilson support
ed? It sounds to me like Mr.
Beardsley is trying to cause bad
feelings where none exist. Let
his ward decide if he is worthy
of reelection.
