RESPONSE: Opt-out on meanness

I just read Mr. Drewien’s epistle in today’s [April 3] Press. Nice photo. Good looking guy with the hat. Nice résumé. I didn’t know Hayden had an aerospace industry. Sorry I missed the Gospel at the hearing, but at 91, I don’t get out much.

What happened to your Don’t Be Mean Policy, or is that just an illusion you promote to your Readers to protect your assets? I may agree or disagree with the present or past commissioners’ decisions, but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect their opinions.

Do commissioners need police protection to carry on their function for the rest of us?

With 11 acres, is the Drewien family on a septic tank in Hayden or do they process on site? Josiah didn’t cover that in his epistle. Waste recycling is a critical factor for everyone in the space program. Can I say manned?
