In reference to former State Representative Tom Armstrong housing former sex offenders in his house, a Sunday News “Quote Of The Week” was Columbia’s mayor Leo Lutz stating: “We want to send a clear message. … We don’t want you in Columbia. Please go elsewhere.”
WATCHDOG: When a mayor makes such a statement, it is indeed news. Even if the editors refrained from taking an editorial stance pro or con, at least they put the issue in front of the public to stimulate thought and reaction. Hopefully reaction they will get!
