Letter to the Editor: Former Planning Chairman Should Be Applauded
Architect Larry Werfel of Werfel, LoPinto & Assoc., Architects P.C. voices his support for former Planning Commission Chairman Dwight Douglas. Werfel's firm is responsible for designing the Renaissance Project substance abuse facility in Ellen
The integrity shown by Chairman Douglas is an act of valor shown by men of principle.
I remember JFK’s book “Profiles in Courage”, with examples of courage and integrity of men throughout the history of our great country. Chairman Douglas shares that courage. I applaud his clear response against NIMBY and for the principles of and law. The few self- interested citizens of the community who spoke at the hearing and signed the petition should be ashamed of themselves.
Helping fellow human beings deal with a scourge of addiction should be a goal shared by all. The political knee jerk of the Article 78 is typical of too many of our elected officials. Show courage to do the right thing.
