One of things I like about business traveling is that you get moments of alone time. It’s time that I like to use to reflect on events, conversations, or just about anything. Currently I’m out of the country and am able to have one of those moments of solitude and reflection right now.
I’ve been thinking about this past week and the threat of violence doled out by Darryl Manzer. It certainly angered those of us who volunteer on the West Ranch Town Council. When I saw that column by Manzer, I immediately wanted to respond in writing to The Signal. A blatant threat of violence on some elected community representatives is just outrageous.
As the week progressed, several of us filed written complaints with the County Supervisors’ office. And yes, there was a Sheriff Deputy dispatched to the Signal office contrary to what some have been told. The Sheriff did review the columns content and threat. There are also several lawyers looking at this as well.
Now, the response to Darryl Manzer is being handled by Paul Ash the President of our Town Council. Unfortunately the piece Paul wrote will not appear in its entirety. He was told it was to long and it had to be edited. Then he was told that it would have to broken up over several articles. In essence, it is being watered down!
No surprise there since Darryl is a good friend of one of the staff members at the Signal! This is one of several reasons why I don’t bother writing to the Signal. It is very biased. They, the managing and editorial staff, have a very high opinion of themselves which is only over shadowed by their apparent lack of journalistic integrity. They want to keep whatever arguments one sided in their favor hence the hatchet job they are happy to do on those in the community with a different view point.
More to come shortly!
