Re: your Sept. 26 article, “Foy declines to attend candidate forums�:
It comes as no surprise to me that Peter Foy is refusing to debate Jim Dantona and to answer voter questions. Last spring, Simi and Moorpark classroom teachers and Simi school workers invited Foy, Dantona and Judy Mikels to be interviewed for a recommendation. Foy was the first to call back and schedule an interview, as did Dantona and Mikels.
While Dantona and Mikels kept their appointments, Foy did not show up. Foy did not even have the courtesy to call the teachers, who were waiting for him for more than an hour, to say he was not coming.
I think it is time to ask, what is Foy hiding? Why is he afraid to speak to voters? I personally will be voting for Dantona. Dantona is not afraid to engage voters, and he knows how to keep his appointments. The people of Simi Valley and Moorpark deserve a supervisor who will engage the people, not hide from them.
