Does it disturb only me that a local paper puts in print assumptions based on hearsay, statements the editor, upon being queried, writes are “factual” and “objective,” when in actuality they are conjecture and opinion? He has no idea why I, a twice-elected official, resigned after four years of unfailing service on the School Committee. He has never asked to have a conversation with me about it. Assumptions are easier.
