Letters-to-the-Editor: Wed 12/7/2011 5:29 AM


Letter to editor:

Dear editor,
In a recent article in The Whitman County Gazette on the proposal to close thr(sic) Malden Post Office our Mayor, the Honorable Ted Maxwell, put his personal opinion ahead of the facts. He was quoted in the article as saying "well, it's already falling down, so". That statement goes against the USPS' report that states "building appears structurally sound and in good condition." A little powerwashing and re mortering and it would be as good as new.

As mayor, he should look out for the best interest of the town, and closing the post office is not in our best interest. There has been a lot of grumbling around town on the way he thru us under the bus.
