Wasserman: Attacking the messenger is not a solution

“Rather than addressing Greenwich’s dire investment needs, (Michael Spilo) attacks the messenger. His ad hominem attacks on Joanna Swomley, calling her a member of a ‘squad’ (sound familiar?), ‘in poor taste,’ ‘low-brow discourse,’ and in an earlier editorial, ‘shrill,’ and ‘appeal(ing) to emotion,’ reveal more about his views than hers.” – Svetlana Wasserma Continue Reading →

LETTER: Attack on Moss RTM Vote Based on Specious Argument
|
“The vote (Michael Spilo) refers to was a vote against the deletion of $200k from the current budget for a second propane refueling station to be located at Holly Hill.
