(Re: Aurora Votes 2018: Abel aims to undo \u201ccostly\u201d Council decisions, September 27)<\/em><\/p>\n

I was appalled by John Abel’s arrogant ad hominem attacks on his fellow “timid and uncritical” councillors in this week’s Auroran.
\nI have watched Council. I know several hard-working councillors.

\nHis supercilious remarks confirm he should not be given the office he seeks.<\/p>\n
