My response to Ken Pickard’s “Sound Off” article titled ”Town needs regime change” in the Whidbey News-Times, Sept. 8, is that perhaps he should stay in British Columbia pondering his fate.

This prejudiced opinion attacking persons and personalities is slanderous and not ethical. It’s disappointing that the Whidbey News-Times has published such slander of persons and facts. Hopefully, Coupeville’s future will not depend on persons supporting this kind of behavior.

I’m a Coupeville resident who cares about its future.
