Although I rarely agree with Jay Spiegel, I defend his right to air his views even when it appears he has become the official editorial writer for the Mount Vernon Gazette. However, I believe he crossed the line last week when he described keeping track of when Supervisor Dan Storck’s car can, and cannot, be seen in the parking lot of the government center and when he can, and cannot, be viewed through a window working at this desk. In light of recent attacks against our elected leaders by angry and misguided people, I found Mr. Spiegel’s words creepy at best. The more disturbing part may be that Mr. Spiegel, apparently, doesn’t realize how worrisome his words may sound.
