Roger and Margaret Martin Letter

On Saturday, April 30th, we informed RKLD constituents that the Wetlands Club had requested the names and addresses of all property taxpayers within the lake district boundaries.

(see original posting here)

As of Tuesday, July 12th, we now know what their intentions were for obtaining this public document; to mail pro-LKWA propaganda that is littered with inaccuracies.

What is interesting about the letter Mr. and Mrs. Martin mailed is that their letters were postmarked from Milwaukee (532xx). Also, each of the 3 pages is marked Copyright 2005/All Rights Reserved.

And I find it very curious that the final page is a bullited laundry list of 14 reasons to oppose the Lake District.

A copywritten letter? From your neighbor? Postmarked, Milwaukee?

Not only does the formal nature of the letter smack of something a lawyer would write, but the 14 bullit points are the same talking points the Wetlands Club members recite at every interview.

I don't need to watch CSI or Law and Order reruns to figure-out the Martins had an attorney, perhaps Wetlands Club lawyer Buck Sweeney, draft this letter for them.

Democracy is great. No matter how wrong someone is, they still have the right to be wrong.
