Report Inappropriate Comments

Dear John Sinoneau Sr.,

You're right. I neglected to comment about Councilperson Donna Travis. I thought my many letters-to-the-editor, articles, and flattering comments here were enough. I have mentioned (it took about an hour!) her many accomplishments and decades of "giving". I have said on many occasions that there should be a statue of her and her husband Bill at the entrance to Oakland Beach because they have done more for the betterment of that community THAN EVERYONE ELSE PUT TOGETHER! I felt that then and I feel that now.

Is she perfect? NO!

Am I? NO!

Are you John? Maybe? Maybe not.

The bottom line is that neither of us can think of any group of people collectively, that have given more to the families of Oakland Beach than those two people. That buys Donna Travis some benefit-of the-doubt, in my world, and a lot of your accusations may very well be her fault or they may very well not be. I don't care as much about those issues because there are so many offsetting decades of positives. Thousands of positives, John. Thousands.

Sorry John. I respect you. I just don't agree with you about her.

I do get a kick out of Wrlvoter though, who attacks me for "not talking about her because I am (apparently) a COWARD". Here's a guy that doesn't even have enough courage to make honest comments from an honest name. (Like you and I do). Who's the real COWARD? The readers know!

As far as me "pandering" to Donna.

Guilty!

And when Wrkvoter accomplishes 1% as much as Donna Travis has, he will deserve pandering as well.

Happy Valentines John.

Happy Valentines everyone. Go Patriots!
