This letter is either two things A) an official town correspondence or B) a personal letter from Mrs Umstattd. If it's town correspondence, why is it on a sheet of paper with a business card photocopied at the top and not on official town letterhead? Why is it paid by her, if it's an official town letter? And if it's a personal letter from Mrs. Umstattd, why is she speaking in the behalf of the Town Council? Whys is the letter not sign? why are the names of the other town councils not on the letter? Is Mrs Umstattd trying to build some popularity with the misery of some of her citizens... That's not the kind of politic behaviors I support. wow!

Is Mrs Umstattd trying to build some popularity with the misery of some of her citizens… That’s not the kind of politic behaviors I support.

Did the other town council members get to see this before Kristen distributed it? 2. Since it was paid for by Kristen, it's obvious that she views it as campaign materials. So, how is it that she gets to falsely represent it as town correspondence by using town letterhead? 3. Is anyone else even as remotely disgusted by the blatant opportunism as I am? Is it just me?
