Dear Mayor Kennedy,
Even though I heard indirectly from three different sources that you were going to give me a letter of introduction for my independent audit of Lynn's polling places for their compatibility with ADA voting regulations. The letter never came.
Despite your lack of follow through, I proceeded with my task. I shared the results of my findings immediately in two separate letters. I tried to be helpful in my suggestions and even helped to make suggestions for better compliance.
Unfortunately the pattern of your failure to follow through continued and my efforts were not even acknowledged. It seems that your ignoring the rights of certain segments of our citizens leads me to believe that your administration is playing politics as usual.
Your lack of leadership on this matter only places you in the same category as the last administration who used a perversion of ADA to bolster their plans to gerrymander the precincts to influence the elections. This was done by removing Ford School as a polling place.
I had high hopes for you and your administration coming into your term. Given your past experience as a Ride driver I thought you would bring a greater level of sensitivity to the Mayor's office. Sadly it appears that your background in real estate law has been the greater influence. I am disappointed.
Sincerely,
Stanley H. Wotring, Jr.
