To the Editor:

The number of large profane political signs displayed along the two main roads through John Day is really impressive. In fact, one wonders the impression taken away by thousands of tourists who travel through John Day.

A local person who runs for political office returns home to discover someone threw acid on the family dog, which suffered severe burns.

It goes without saying that people are entitled to personal political beliefs. But this isn’t politics. This is pathology.
