Dear Editor:

Shame on Scott Mirkin for electioneering over the bodies of the 9-11 heroes.  This is the same Scott Mirkin, who as a member of the Stamford Board of Representatives called our city’s fire fighters who risk their lives on a daily basis terrorists merely because they sought an open public debate about the wisdom of Mayor Pavia’s proposed fire service plan.

It is almost comical that in his op-ed Scott Mirkin advocates diplomacy and consensus, not controversy in government.  His actions clearly belie that claim.  As Stamford, like the rest of the country goes through challenging times, the last thing we need are elected leaders who spend more time name calling and demonizing than trying to constructively solve problems.
