Enough with the Reardon coverage

I am writing severely disappointed with The Herald’s continued attacks on our former County Executive, Aaron Reardon. The Herald has devoted an inordinate amount of time in condemning Mr. Reardon in the past couple of years and to see the headline on Sunday’s paper seemed to be a bit of “kicking the man while he’s down” behavior. Mr. Reardon’s last day in office was Friday. Why do we need another front page review of old news?

I, for one, would have liked to read more about Sheriff Lovick who is going to be the new County Executive and what his future goals and aims for Snohomish County will be and how will they be executed. Let’s focus on the future for our County.
