Letters

Best for all if Olson were to resign now

I was glad to see the letter “Where is the outrage about Olson’s latest,” about Everett City Council member Mark Olson in Wednesday’s paper.

After the first article in The Herald, I was surprised that there were no letters or other follow-up articles in the paper. The issues surrounding Mr. Olson are pretty significant and I think it would be in the best interest of Mr. Olson and the citizens of Everett if he were to resign so that he can spend the time necessary to deal with them. Anytime someone’s character is questioned, he or she loses their effectiveness in government. I believe we should not have to wait until 2009 to replace him.
