Green statement that Acton children percent ol him have rotten decayed teeth is comic il This statement was made a dentist who should know what tic is talking about and I he does more than councillor Several comments which canned members made you quoted in your paper were on more than any councillor Several comments which council members made and which you quoted in your paper were uncalled lot Councillor Mckenzie s statement bailies me Poor public relations on his pari I presume to release something to the Spectator Could we not remind Councillor Mckenzie that the truth should be publicized or is it the case of just he public what they want them to know Reeve Oakes statement is also baffling I object to fireside chats public servants unquote tail to sec what tins statement contributed Could not be classified as to what he was too Tliis was followed by our Mayor Statement I hate to see Acton described as the Dogpatch of Kentucky Mr should be reminded that as mayor it part of his job to make sure that Acton is not referred to this way It can only be improved with guidance and leadership is definitely lacking Mr Marks made a wonderful contribution by calling Dr Green a which feel is insulting and uncalled for Green was perfectly in calling this area a poor socioeconomic area how could it be anything else the way the town councils of mi vini Hie d the last Peril ip nun get the
