Printer D av id a n d April H ilto n -S y k e s , P ub lishers Letters to the Editor Fire fueled with misinformation To the Editor: This letter is in response to the letter you printed from Mr. Hal Dinkins in last week's paper regarding Home Rule in Morrow County. In Mr. Dinkins' letter, he talked (at length) about leaving government alone. What is ironic to me is the fact that what the'Home Rule Charter Com mittee was designed (by government) to do is exactly what Mr. Dinkins has worked against during the entire 18 month process. Mr. Dinkins has accused the entire commit tee (eight others) of having secret agendas, or seeking what's best for one end of the county or the other. The self- righteous Mr. Dinkins talks of narrowing the "cleavage" bet ween the north and south ends of the county, and yet every time he opens his mouth or writes one of his editorials, he fuels that same fire with his in sults and misinformation. The other eight members of our committee have done everything they can to be co operative, congenial, and receptive to others' ideas. Mr. Dinkins, on the other hand, will not listen to others' ideas. He thinks his opinion is the on ly possible opinion. He has been disruptive, rude and un cooperative. Case in point, I have repeat edly said to the public as we went through the hearing pro cess, our committee is not done formulating what the final charter should look like. After | | v * | v x | k * ï all, the whole idea behind the public hearings was to listen to what the people had to say, and to modify the proposed charter accordingly. The next meeting for our committee will be held to do just that. We will discuss what we have heard from the public for the past three months and then discuss what changes to the proposed charter need to be. Mr. Dinkins, however, has once again circumvented the government process and run off at the mouth before giving government's due process a chance to work. If Mr. Dinkins had spent less time telling the public what he wanted and more time listen ing to what they wanted, then maybe he wouldn't be so afraid to "let the process" work. In conclusion, I would add Mr. Dinkins repeatedly refer red to the committee as "my committee" (meaning his com mittee). As chairman of the Home Rule Committee, I sup pose if anyone could choose to call it "h is committee", it would be me. I have chosen, rather, throughout the past 18 months, to refer to it as our committee, because with the exception of one arrogant and uncooperative person, it has been a team of people I have been very proud to work with. Mr. Dinkins, let people be heard, not you. Sincerely, (s) Rollie Marshall Chairman, Morrow County Home Rule Committee I would like to thank everyone w ho supported me and the rest o f the 1-82 Wildcats by buying McDonald Bucks, hotdogs, pop and baked goods, and getting their cars wash- ed over the last six weeks in Hermiston.
