What a relief! Our local “leaders” can pass the buck.
But where has The Herald editorial staff been? How come they aren’t critical of the city’s position? How come they are unable to report the facts?
The Oct. 13 article “Court delays ruling on Everett Ten Commandments” again mentions the city’s position of defense, that the monument should stay due to its historical significance. But once again there’s no attempt to even spend one dime’s worth of effort to test this defense. I challenge The Herald editorial staff to call the Everett Historical Commission and ask them what it takes for something to be identified as being historical. And how about publishing, in your own words, what you find out?
I bothered checking this out. And, as I informed the council and as I had published in The Herald, the monument does not meet the city’s criteria for historical consideration!
And so it goes. The city “leaders” hide and dodge. And The Herald abets.
