The “Charming” group associates have been running what appears to me to be a rather obvious letters to the editor campaign in the Clarkston News consisting of anti-Historic District Commission (HDC) charter proposal comments. The goal is to give you the impression these letters are organic. As I’ve said before, you shouldn’t be surprised to see a negative letter to the editor every week until the election because it’s a way to extend their efforts with no financial cost to the ballot proposal committee. We could have done the same thing with positive letters to the editor, but we didn’t solicit them because we know the not-so-charming “Charming” group members would have bullied the authors for having the nerve to express a contrary opinion (which makes me ever so grateful for secret election ballots).
