Politically in Sync

Dear Nick Welsh,

I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your Angry Poodle column. It goes into details and fearlessly names names. Full transparency and disclosure assures the health of an informed, democratic electorate. Sadly, falsehoods, innuendo, and obfuscation abound in politics, both locally and on the national stage.

I graduated from UCSB several decades ago, being an eyewitness to the B of A burning and the subsequent events following the police riots. While in love with this area, I returned after my graduation in 1971 to the San Francisco Bay Area to find work and live. A little over five years ago, shortly after retirement, my wife and I moved back to the area we loved so much and settled in Carpinteria.
