Letter to the Editor~by Bill Senger

"Editor, Last week a mean-spirited voter mailer was sent to the residents of Arnold. Clearly, one of the candidates for supervisor of District 3 considers the voters in this county to be moronic rubes with IQs below room temperature. This I find offensive. I'm not concerned about the effect this will have on Merita Callaway's campaign. She has taken the high road and continues to talk about issues of importance to the residents of the county. Meanwhile, Bill McManus and his minions in the Calaveras Business Council are frantically slinging mud with their chicken-little sound bites of paranoid delusions and worn-out conspiracy theories. If profanity is....


the mark of a weak mind attempting to express itself in a forceful manner, then attack ads must be the mark of a weak politician desperately trying to win an election he has already lost. Give it up, Jethro, Merita is gonna whop you like a rented mule on payday.

So now the McManus campaign has set a new low standard for Calaveras
County politics by being dishonest, vindictive, and cynical. Is this the kind of arrogance we want representing our interests? I think not.

A man of integrity would apologize to Ms Callaway for the deplorable transgressions of his supporters and reaffirm his commitment to run a clean campaign. The response from McManus and his goobers Green, McKee, and Davidson was eerily similar to the recent Congressional testimonies by the CEOs of British Petroleum, Transocean, and Haliburton. Each of these stooges was trying to dodge responsibility and turn the blame on someone else. So somebody is lying.

What a bunch of incompetent bozos. They try to pull off a smear campaign and don't even know that the USPS doesn't deliver mail to street addresses in District 3. Maybe Mr. McManus was not responsible for the cowardly attempt to smear Merita Callaway, but he is ultimately responsible for the dirty tricks of his supporters.

With the challenges we are currently facing in this county, the last thing we want to do is elect a feckless amateur as supervisor.

Bill Senger
Arnold"
