Generally, we don't comment about articles in the "Explorer." However, one of our bloggers wrote the following:
---
"I wanted to express my disgust at the photo of Solomon & Hiremath in this weeks Explorer "OV Councilmen honored" on page 6.
Barry gives 8 ELECTED years; Solomon was poo-pointed, failed to get elected, has treated the public with disrespect and is given prime ink space by the weekly rag!
A perfect example of the lousy journalism we have in this country!
I feel better now, thank you for "listening" to me:))))"

The article to which the writer refers is online. However, there is no picture. We agree: Barry's "body of work" over the 8 years was significant. He always respected his constituents. He always brought value to every meeting. And, yes, he did his homework. So we will say to Barry what the Mayor really should have said: "Thank you Barry for a job well done!"
