Controversy handled responsibly

The current scandals and problems surrounding Mayor West are being handled carefully and professionally.

Improper use and abuse of political position remains to be proven by the establishment of facts relating to written rules of conduct.

It was hypocritical to lie and legislatively abuse the population of which he was a member. It’s inappropriate to be sexually trolling for youth barely past the age of majority, but not illegal.

We have the right to ask him to step down and spare us more pain. (Write or email).

It’s not about legalities...it’s about lack of integrity to lead.
