In the case of the re- cent Lexington shut down, which caused two citizens to be laid off and created a dangerous predicament for the town as Oregon heads into wildfire season, council members Beard and Thompson would be wise to start issuing apologies in- stead of blame. They should also be sure to put the next budget meeting into their calendars now with a few alerts, or at least tie a string around their fingers. In case you missed it councilmen, that meeting is set for July 9 at 7 p.m., Lexington Town Hall. Andrea Anderson Portland, OR Quit badmouthing town and mayor To the editor: Dear Dave (Sykes), It is very sad how you keep badmouthing our town of Lexington and Mayor Kemp. Too bad you don’t tell the truth and the real story of what happens at meetings. What about Will Lemmon and all his yelling, that was not in your paper, now was it? I remember us having a mayor that was a lawyer in the past and you did the same thing to us then. Then she had a talk with you and it stopped. Why don’t you just stay away from our town and leave us alone. How can you even call yourself a Christian, you are just like the Pharisees in the Bible? You and your sidekick, Bobbi Gordon, are acting just like the evil Democrats. lesson sessions will be July 17-27, July 8-18 and July 29- August 8.
