Local Politics at its best.

08 May 2003: Citizen of Colonial Heights rights letter to editor urging city officials to speak out on issues to inform local citizens.

18 May 2003 (4th letter down): Citizen rights letter to editor stating that he received - in reply to 08 letter - an anonymous mailing which outlines flaws in the Colonial Heights Circuit Court Clerk's office. Citizen infers that this came from the challenger in the race for that office and states that it will not change his vote.

23 May 2003: Challenger writes editor stating she has no reason to anonymously write letters - she has all of this up on her public website. States this is not to embarrass current office holder but inform the citizenry.

29 May 2003: Current Clerk replies. Talks about how courteous and efficient her staff is and how she has lived in Colonial Heights her whole life while Challenger has just moved into town and doesn't understand the people or the office.

29 May 2003 (2d letter down): Citizen replies, gives ringing endorsement of Current Clerk, and uneeded besmirchment of Challenger.


Very interesting. I am not in a position to judge whether the office could be run more efficiently (not my bailiwick) but I can say that it is an extremely friendly office and helpful when I need it.
