To the editor:

A recent letter to the South Whidbey Record from Ric Delmonte (Oct. 22) completely mischaracterized my position on the Freeland sewer project. Its size and scope ought to be decided by the residents of Freeland and their elected district representatives. That is why the work of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee is so important. They are reviewing options and soon will bring forward a recommendation for action.

For Mr. Delmonte to suggest that I, or anyone, want the district to foreclose on property owners is disingenuous, at best.
