LETTER: Reader takes exception to ‘dictatorial’ actions of blogger

Dear Editor,

I recently read an article in the InsideVero on line magazine. I tried to comment to an article about civility at city council meetings in response to a Jay Kramer comment. I tried to make three civil comments and have discovered that OnlineVero screens any comments from the Electric Utility prosale side.

This magazine seems to have one overriding agenda, to Stop The Sale of the Utility. Public discourse in the public papers or in this case web site is critical to democracy, in this case I find their actions to be dictatorial by the editor.

Why would the editor not allow discourse from both sides of this important issue, making it seem everyone is against the sale, when the opposite is the case?

The sale of the Electric Utility is valued at $205,000,000.00, not the original $157,500,000.00.

Signed,

Daniel Mattson
