Letter to the editor: Sen. Heffernan’s answer begs more questions
Thank you for printing Senator Heffernan’s letter. The letter may raise more questions than it answers.
For over a week, very detailed reports of Mr. Mahdawi’s ordeal were on every media. Yet the Senator says that there was insufficient discussion and process was not followed.
Does this mean that the Senator did not believe the basically undisputed facts presented by the media? Or did he simply not see or hear them?
As to process, was it followed in the detainment of Mr. Mahdawi?
If a legal resident, and liked and respected member of a Vermont community is not safe, who else is not safe?
Perhaps food for thought before the next elections?
