Letter to the Editor: GOV WATCH sets the record straight

To the Editor:

One mayoral candidate spent a great deal of money trying to discredit LFP GOV WATCH. The "attack" piece that he mailed contained statements that weren't true, deceptive statements, and innuendo.

Fortunately, with the help of a large number of volunteers, GOV WATCH distributed a one page flyer to households throughout Lake Forest Park to set the record straight. Because the "attack" piece arrived so late we were unable to mail a response.

Beginning May 9, 2011, GOV WATCH filed accurate Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) reports that state who our officers are and list our contributors. Members of GOV WATCH have appeared in public forums and held numerous coffees throughout the City. It is our goal to provide factual information to our citizens.

A copy of the flyer that was distributed is available on the GOV WATCH website in case you missed it.

We encourage you to vote for our GOV WATCH endorsed candidates:

For Mayor:

* Mary Jane Goss

For City Council:

* Brian Cathcart (position 2)

* Tom French (position 6)

* Jeff Johnson (position 4)

Stephen Plusch, Chair,
