Exposing Corruption

There are times when I find your liberal bias and the vitriolic and antagonistic negativism of your (editorial cartoonist) Paul Conrad and (Washington bureau chief) Jack Nelson infuriating. However, if the characteristics exhibited by these men are what is required to pursue and expose government corruption, as you have done in the current (Police Chief Bill) Kolender case, then it must be not only accepted, but encouraged.

The Kolender corruption is a terrible abuse of power. It establishes a privileged class, which in a narrow area, can operate above the law. It appears to have been done with the expectation of a quid pro quo.

Your effort in the Kolender case well serves the community. It is a demonstration of the American press at its best. I commend your effort and express my appreciation.
