Reprint of negative letter criticized

| 29 Sep 2011 | 09:24

    To the Editor, It is bad enough that The Sparta Independent reprinted the same letter from Ellie Van Warabie in this week’s paper, but to reprint it two times in the same paper is just irresponsible. I understand that human errors can occur, but I feel that someone there has blown off their duty to the public and their employer when they make such careless mistakes. I hope you understand that this newspaper is a major source of information in this community. Please hold the staff to a higher standard and encourage them to read what is going to print in order to prevent this from happening again. When you rerun such a negative letter this many times, some people may believe that you are endorsing her line of thinking and that should not be the case when publishing letters to the editor.
