PJS Resident Says Flanagan Doesn't Represent Community

A letter to the editor from Port Jefferson Station resident, Robert M. Pearl

Editor's Note: Below is a Letter to the Editor sent by Robert M Pearl.

Dear Sen. Flanagan,

I am taking the time to make sure that you are aware that thousands of us know that your "forums" are for show only. We know that you do not represent us or our children. You have made no statements showing that.

Your actions clearly demonstrate your alliance with corporations and education "deformers." Accepting over $10,000 from Students First and Michelle Rhee demonstrates your priorities. We need a change in representation and we will start that when you lose the 2014 election.

My friends, family, and colleagues will vote for ANYONE instead of you. Your form of representation is an insult to democracy.

Sincerely,
Robert M. Pearl
