LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Justice served to Langley mayor with lawsuit

To the editor:

It was good news to learn that justice was served in the case of Mayor Larry Kwarsick and he should not be allowed to serve in public office any more. It’s about time that our public servants learn that they are not above the law.

However, I feel that his jail sentence of only 15 days is lenient to the point of the ridiculous. Also, it is not the prosecutor, legal system or judge that is to blame for Mayor Kwarsick’s situation. Rather, it is Mayor Kwarsick’s arrogance, poor judgement and actions that have put him in this situation. If you do the crime, you gotta do the time. But the time should be more than 15 days.
