I normally don’t get caught up in all of the political rhetoric going on at election time, and I try to sort through all the mudslinging and rumors. I don’t know whether Judy Mikels lives here, or in Arizona. I don’t know how many meetings she misses.
What I do remember is this: She attended the vigil for the seven people killed in a car crash back in August of 2005. Her statements made were so unbelievable that I wouldn’t vote for her just based on her total insensitivity toward the family and also the young driver involved, who was also in attendance. Her statements of “We’ve all forgotten how to drive� and “I’m so sorry for this accident, but we cannot legislate stupidity� were totally inappropriate. If she didn’t even have the common sense or courtesy in this particular instance to keep her mouth shut, one has to wonder what she says when the press is not there.
I don’t want a representative speaking for me who shows such lack of judgment or compassion.

I've heard rumors about Mikel's remarks before, from second-hand sources, and I still can't believe anyone would say such things at a memorial service. If you have a source for Mikel's remarks I'd like to know about it because I can't imagine the supervisor's either that stupid or that cold-hearted to have said such things. Let's shine a light on the source before accusing anyone of such foul-mouthed words.
Sorry Gary, I didn't see your post till now when I googled my own name just for fun. I actually went to the archives to be sure of what I was stating before sending the letter in. I remember reading the article in Aug 2005 and I was outraged then and never responded. I felt people needed to be reminded of her actions. It doesn't even matter now anyway since she lost the election. But I did feel compelled to answer you anyway.
