Bankruptcy letter too much even for political campaign

I feel compelled to write about a disturbing letter that I read in the PTC political section of your newspaper. This particular article on local politics went too far, even for a political campaign.

I was offended by the letter that Mr. Paul Schwanitz wrote about Councilman Dan Tennant. This letter did not address Mr. Tennant's political view, nor did it address any political concerns that a PTC resident may have. Instead it viciously attacked Mr. Tennant personally concerning his personal misfortune several years ago.

All of us have made mistakes. Hopefully we won't have to read about them in the local newspaper. I'm sure Mr. Schwanitz has made mistakes. I am also sure that he would not like to read about them in the local news. This attacking of Mr. Tennant's personal misfortune was inexcusable and definitely in poor taste.
