Tactic decried

To the editor:

I received two pieces of mail this past week that attacked a current candidate for city commission. I was upset by this tactic. I believe it is quite unfortunate that our own citizens, who are willing to serve their community by running for a public office, are publicly slandered.

I would hope a community as special as Lawrence would be able to discuss and vote based on the positions of the candidates and on the many issues that are so very important to our city. I appreciate those who are willing to serve our community and citizens, whether I agree with them on the issues or not.

Dana Ortiz,
