“...letters...basically devoid of content about the city’s issues…But because of several letters we didn’t print, we’re afraid it could be because some people can’t wait to start slinging mud at Pepe for having the audacity to challenge Burnett.”

“We received two letters that accused Pepe of various nefarious deeds and character flaws. You might even say the letters amounted to character assassination. And when we asked the letter-writers to substantiate their claims — we don’t prints nasty criticisms without something to back them up — they both backed down.”
