Editor: I was appalled when I read the letter (The Times, Sept. 20) by Councillor Kim Richter. What a disgusting display of using a small child to further her own political career.

It鈥檚 not about the little boy at all 鈥� it鈥檚 all about promoting herself and her propaganda, using little Cole as her pawn. This is political poison at its worst.

She should offer her most sincere apologies to little Cole and his family for using them for her grandstanding. I鈥檓 sorry if they are feeling hurt, but the blame lies entirely at her feet, because there wasn鈥檛 an opportunity for the citizens of 91原创 Township to be involved in the process of naming this bridge in a democratic manner.

91原创 citizens should be free to express their concerns without being labelled 鈥渂itter.鈥�

Then to take the heat off of her own despicable behavior, she starts to slander other 91原创 citizens by making up stories about them in her letter. Councillor Richter needs to stop her bullying tactics. She is not pulling the wool over anyone鈥檚 eyes 鈥� you can fool some of the people part of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.
