Reagan Republicans’ Ward: ‘Sorry’

Flashback: Local Republicans fight over precinct reduction, and: Cross chastizes Ward for seeking boycott

In my last newsletter column I made a couple of major mistakes and I want to admit them and ask my gentle readers for forgiveness.  I made an honest stand about reducing county precincts and had certain people publically question my motives and my character.  I, in turn, reacted badly.  Although I still believe in the policy I wrote about and in the facts I presented, in anger, in hurt, and with wounded pride, I did two things that were contrary to the values that I, and I think the Reagan Republicans, stand for.  For betraying my own, and I believe our collective principals, I am truly sorry/Jeff Ward, Reagan Republicans. More here.

Question: Have you ever had to eat crow? Want to tell us about it?
