Clinton and Trump goes on.
In light of this, to believe that they are equally poor candi-
dates for president is both ludicrous and irresponsible.

To the Editor:
Hillary’s announced her intentions to nominate black-
robed lawyers who will rule according to social need (no
reference to the Constitution). Justices who will over-
turn the Heller ruling and common understanding that
gun ownership is a right not a privilege and other impedi-
ments to the expansion of the power of the central govern-
ment. Very much like some Hitler or Mussolini. She has
also proposed to unleash the battalions of leftist tort law-
yers who should be able to put the firearms industry out of
business.
Hillary and her hand-picked judges might also be able
to define who constitutes the terrorists; could they be
Americans that Mr. Nugent refers to as the lunatic fringe,
NRA members, white supremacists, Islamaphobes, xeno-
phobes and anyone else who are on the Democrat list of
Americans who will not roll over for the policies of the
government party. Most certainly, these people should be
disarmed.
I am forced to agree with Mr. Nugent that the election
is about choosing between democracy and authoritarian dic-
tatorship. Will we be led by a president who has spent his
life as a successful businessman, or a ruler with a phone and
a pen who has spent her life clawing her way to the top of
the political pyramid. A person who has clawed over the
backs of her husband’s discarded women and past the bod-
ies of the dead men abandoned in Benghazi, all the while
using her station as Secretary of State to harvest money
for her foundation; compromising national secrets through
irresponsible communications and lying about it. But to
quote Madam Secretary, “What difference, at this point,
does it make?” now, when she is close to gaining total
power.

ESTERMAN:
Residency has
been questioned
Continued from page 1
he had been sleeping at
the Jefferson Way address
because he prefers it to the
Oak Street house.
The letter cites water con-
sumption records and gar-
bage service requirements as
the basis for its concern.
“For the period com-
mencing on September 23,
2015, and ending on April
22, 2016, there was not
any water consumption at
Sisters Property,” Green
writes. “Thereafter, water
usage has been minimal. In
addition, City understands
that garbage service has not
been provided to the Sisters
Property during the relevant
period. The lack of water
usage coupled with the fact
that garbage service has not
been provided to the Sisters
Property is a strong indica-
tor that you have not resided
at the Sisters Property
during the relevant time
period.”
The city is requesting that
Esterman provide an expla-
nation of the lack of water
consumption; an explanation
for garbage service not being
provided; and evidence that
Esterman has resided at the
153 Oak Street property dur-
ing the past year. Electricity
bills showing continuous
usage would be considered
documentation.
The attorney’s letter
requests that the documenta-
tion be provided by 5 p.m. on
October 31.
What, if any effect, the
questions over residency will
have on Esterman’s candi-
dacy are not clear.
