Letter to the Editor: LFP Gov. Watch Chair Responds to Thompson's "Attack" Piece

To the Editor:

One mayoral candidate spent a great deal of money to mail an "attack" piece in an attempt to discredit LFP GOV WATCH. The piece contained statements that weren't true, deceptive statements, and innuendo.

To set the record straight, a large number of volunteers, distributed a one page GOV WATCH flyer to households throughout Lake Forest Park. The "attack" piece arrived so late that GOV WATCH was unable to mail a response.

Beginning May 9, 2011, GOV WATCH filed accurate Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) reports that state who our officers are and list our contributors. Members of GOV WATCH have appeared in public forums and held numerous coffees throughout the City. It is our goal to provide factual information to our citizens.

A copy of the flyer that was distributed is available on the GOV WATCH website at www.lfpgovwatch.org in case you missed it.

We encourage you to vote for our GOV WATCH endorsed candidates:

   For Mayor:

        * Mary Jane Goss

   For City Council:

        * Brian Cathcart (position 2)

        * Tom French (position 6)

        * Jeff Johnson (position 4)
