To The Editor:
Recent news reports of the Kennett Township Board of Supervisors’ expensive efforts to prevent a township citizen from seeing what should be public documents has me scratching my head. A quick review of the documents requested on Scudder Stevens’ website www.scudderforsupervisor.org makes clear that the documents he requested are readily available on other municipalities’ websites. Why is Kennett Township paying a lawyer to argue about giving citizens documents they have a right to see?
Current Supervisor Allan Falcoff has also refused to participate in a debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters with Scudder Stevens. He says he is running on his record, but you can’t both run on your record and hide it. An elected official who will not answer basic questions from township citizens does not deserve to be reelected. A citizen who is willing to work so hard to get these questions answered deserves my vote. I am voting for Scudder Stevens for Kennett Township Supervisor in November.
