No Damn Molovinsky Letters


Early last week I submitted the following letter to the Morning Call.
I read with great amusement South Whitehall Commissioner Tori Morgan's statement that placing an Open Space referendum on the ballot is a "fantastic idea". Ms. Morgan permitted the Wildlands Conservancy to contest the condition of Wehr's Dam with the state. That inappropriate interaction has complicated fulfilling the 2016 referendum that was meant to preserve that iconic structure. A referendum doesn't mean much if the elected officials are not sincere about following through with the voter's wishes.                      Michael Molovinsky 
The last letter of mine published by The Morning Call was in October of 2016, prior to the Wehr's Dam referendum. At the time, it took me two weeks to persuade the paper to publish the letter. The letters' editor refused, but I went over his head to the newly appointed publisher assigned by the Tribune Corporation. While the paper solicits self serving public relations patter by our elected and appointed officials, it censures citizen protest.
