Congratulations Beka Compton and Lane Gwinn on your designation as a “serial fabulist” as stated in the recent letter to the Times’ editor by Seth Murdock. As a recent witness to the confrontation between Jack Miller and the alt-right conservative group presented to me by Mr. Miller, you continued your history of excellent, concise reporting by representing accurately the viewpoint of the conservative group in Dayton as experienced by Mr. Miller.

Dayton is lucky to have leadership who believe in economic development and who are able to leverage necessary funding and broad-based support that extends beyond their boundaries to facilitate economic success.

I encourage the citizens of Dayton to vote for Shawn Brown, Vicki Zoller, Teeny McMunn, Fred Crowe, Boe Stevenson, and Jack Miller who will all continue to work for a successful Dayton Community. And, please, for accurate and timely Touchet Valley community news, renew or start your subscription to the Waitsburg Times.
