True Colours
Darkening
A letter I wrote to your paper was
published on 17th July regarding the unacceptable manners displayed
at the Community Enterprises meeting of Wednesday 9th July by Mayor
Mr. Stan Semenoff in which I quoted
“really showed some true colours.”
Well after perusing the article
“Mayor: You’re whiners, wafflers and wasters” and
reading the letter, of Thursday 24th July it is obvious others are
experiencing similar bad displays of basic manners by this man.
“Respect” in the dictionary makes no
reference to coming along with a title.
I like many others believe that
‘respect is earned’. Well Mr. Semenoff a change in
attitude by yourself is much needed to reinstate any respect for you.
Your letter shows much arrogance.
You had a golden opportunity to
apologize for your previous bad manners at the last Council meeting,
that most good men would have humbly accepted.
I sincerely hope fellow Councilors
who do not wish to be associated with or do not agree with the sentiments of
Mr. Semenoffs article have the courage of their
convictions to display opposition to them.
Now is their opportunity to stand and be
counted.
