Dear Editor:
In response to the announcement that he will be challenged for the mayor's office, as quoted in the recent news article, it is unclear if Wayne Wright truly has an appalling homophobic attitude or, if not, his base comments are a reflection of the lowest form of politicking: character assassination.
As for Mr. Pigeau's letter to the editor (Who is this Crosty fellow?, The Record, Sept. 16) it is well known that he is a long-time supporter and financial backer of the mayor and no one is fooled by his disingenuous questioning of Mr. Crosty.
There is no room for divisive, out-dated thinking at city hall; it is damaging to New Westminster. In fact, the mayor's public expression of that kind of prejudice has no place anywhere ever.
Susan Wandell, New Westminster
