Scarcello should be ashamed

Mon., May 15, 2017

I was shocked to learn that Lakes Highway District incumbent Rod Twete is facing an opponent in the coming election who should be disqualified by law to run for any office. His opponent, Laurin Scarcello, was removed as watermaster of Water District 95C in a Department of Water Resources Board hearing on Jan. 3.

In my opinion, Mr. Scarcello should be ashamed of himself and remove his name from running as he is obviously unfit to serve even as dog catcher (no offense meant to the dog catchers). I’m voting Rod Twete.
