For Mr. Howell to even mention the first amendment is sad. Of course Cote has the right to say what he wants. A reporter/newspaper owner should know that. If someone enters public office, they should have thick skin. It is widely known that the courts allow even more vitriol to be spewn at public figures as opposed to private citizens. Public figures have a limitation on suing for libel because they are public figures. To say that a citizen could not object to an elected public figures education level is beyond the pale for an editor of a newspaper. Kidding right? Perhaps John Howell should no longer mention a candidates education level when showcasing candidates for various positions during elections. Doesn't matter, right? Mr. Howell would have done the lady more justice if he cited her experiecne IN LIEU of her education level and left it at that.
