To The Editor,
I am sending this to you since the new “voice” in St. Charles, doesn’t have a letters column. They apparently don’t want to hear from the citizens. They will tell you dummies out there what to think.
Except for a spot on Lindenwood, a fine article by a local doctor, and a story on a mission there was nothing in the tabloid that was of import to the St. Charles residents. The publisher touts that he will bring us facts about issues, but none have appeared.
The publisher is one of our “movers and shakers”. I don’t know about “shakers”, but if his tabloid is the result of what occurs when he “moves”, it is much the same as when one’s bowels “move”. I advise all to stand back and hold your noses
Most of the tabloid was dedicated to him saying, “I’m God’s favorite. I’m not like those unworthy sinners”. I’m sure he sits in the front pew.

Dear Editor:
I was taken aback by your article of the assault on Dr. Allan Williams.
Apparently Officer Tom Mayer likes to talk with his gun and aggression instead of admitting what he was doing while on the clock.
If regular Joe Citizen did this he wouldn’t be reporting to work the next day!
Too bad Donald Trump can’t deliver the ever popular statement, “You’re Fired”. Incidently, whose job is that exactly? Who gets to fire overzealous rogue cops? Can you apply for this position? I’m sure there would be plenty of applicants. especially newspaper readers that are sick and tired of seeing this guy’s name in print! But hey, he gives newspaper circulators and reporters the thrill of releasing info to the public.
We thank you for this info. Can we focus on another point of interest?
Officer Mayer’s whole deal is giving off an awful stench. How about legal grounds of the impeachment of Mayor Patti York.

An Open Letter To Ed Watkins
I do imagine that the guy named Paul who wrote the biggest part of the New Testament, the best seller of all times the “Holy Bible”was probably called a hyprocrite also.
I was told by some very humbe people a long time ago that I shoud be very careful when calling someone a hypocrite - they told me there is always room for one more.
These same humble people also told me that honesty is the Best Policy and the definition of honesty is “The Total Basence Of Any Intent To Deceive.” This is what these people I find to be the truest of my friends told me and I deal with this issue as I write this letter.
You say you areall about an honest voice about honest issues. You talk about the political principle of the Golden Rule. (Mr. Riddler and his four cohorts) “Those that have the gold make the rules.”Isn’t it time that a copule of your good friends (as stated by you they are friends and guilty as charged) Bill Weber and Tom Hughes tried to use some of their gold and probably an anonymous business owner to two to try to influence those running for the City Council to their way of thinking. I wonder if you would still be a friend of people like them if you were told by them to leave by the back door if you did not accept their golden influence. It is like the Councilman said in the news, “He is there to represent the citizens of this city and not necessarily Tom Hughes and his county project that is going to cost the residents of St. Charles. (So TR hook onto St. Peters of look into the cost of treating your sh-- yourself.)
Back to honesty - and your voice. I would like for you to take into consideration all of the facts as recorded on all meetings of the City Concil and all the facts reported in the First Capitol News for the last four years concerning the Mayor’s office and the Mayor, (Patti).
If you read carefully you will see that Mr. Brockmeyer did not attack the office and or position of Mayor but Patti and her way of doing business as Mayor with the very people you would have us believe do not do any wrong for the taxpayers of this fine community.
Let’s be honest Mr. Ed. Patti is the one and only who should be held accountable for making us, as you said in your other friend’s (Jon Boy) article, the laughing stock of the midwest. It all happened on her watch with her influence.
