Pat Kinsman Supports Paula Abbott

In her letter to The Explorer, Pat Kinsman echos what we've said previously. Paula Abbott has been elected & reelected to the town council. Cox & Culver who echoed each ohert saw fit to chastise Paula.

Paula "climbed the hill" twice. Culver got there once, and "got knocked off." Cox tried twice, but couldn't even get "off the ground."

It's so easy to knock one's achievement, especially when you can't do the same.

Here's Pat's letter.

Personal attacks on OV's Abbott are unwarranted

In the last two editions of The Explorer there have been letters from two citizens criticizing Councilwoman Abbott.

The first writer, Ms. Culver was defeated in her bid for a second term. The following week, the second writer, Mr. Cox, failed in his bid to get elected to the council. On the other hand, the voters have repeatedly reelected Councilwoman Abbott.

One has to wonder why Ms. Culver and Mr. Cox suddenly, perhaps jointly, decided to attack an elected council member.

Councilwoman Abbott has links to families with children in Oro Valley. That represents a constituency that some other council members are not as connected to. We need to have that citizen group represented on the council.

In the interest of fairness, I would hope that personal attacks of this type would not be standard fare for this popular community news source.

Pat Kinsman, Oro Valley
