‘Ellen Tuck’ responds to letter on ‘gray water’ issue
As the infamous “Ellen Tuck” who hosted the recent neighborhood meeting to discuss the Roosevelt black water issue, I had the pleasure of reading your recent editorial and Mr. Jeff Hunt’s reply.

Furthermore, it is riddled with numerous factual errors that require correction. Such a poorly researched, badly argued opinion piece does a disservice to both your readership and your publication. Allow me to set…
