By Sharon Greef and Margaret Gorski, Candidates for HD88
It is with sadness that we write this letter. When you put your name on a ballot, you know you are subjecting yourself to things you might otherwise not encounter. And up to this point, those things have been positive and educational. But now an event has happened that assaults the limits of human decency.
A campaign sign, not for an individual candidate but for a party, has been vandalized and covered with vulgar graffiti. We would hate to think that here in Ravalli County, feelings run so deep that actions like this can occur.
Listen to your candidates and learn what they stand for. Make informed decisions.
Regardless of whether the offender was an adult or juvenile, there is no place in our culture today for offensive behavior of this nature. This is not a reflection of the values of our county. We stand together in condemning this kind of behavior and encourage everyone to remember that we may have differences but we are all Americans.
