Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Mr. Uher,

Thank you for answering my previously posted questions.

You are after Mr. Harding about retracting a statement?…(Mr. Harding should reply).

I am thinking you need to retract what you said about Mr. Rigelman?’s posting (11/11/01)

(Bruce?’s (Mr. Rigelman) mention of terrorists and his reference to bin Laden destroys all PATA?’s credibility. How can anyone take you seriously. I just wish more people in the community would log onto this website to find out what kind of elected official we have.) (Mark W. Uher 11/11/01)

He (Bruce Rigelman) made absolutely NO REFERENCE to bin laden!

Even if someone makes such a statement why does it affect PATA's credibilty? This is an open forum!

Thank you for your prompt retraction!

Tim Bryant

p.s. I have been told you spoke at the re-dedication of Heritage Elementary School. In what capacity were you speaking at this event?

Let's Be Fair, Tim!!

Tim,

Thank you for your support that Mr. Harding should reply to my question.

Bruce Rigelman was the one who used word terrorist in his posting along with word hijacking. The follow up comment from whom ever specifically used my name in connection to bin Laden. Tim, lets be fair here.

In addition, you must concur that for an elected official to use such terminology is irresponsible.

Bruce?’s comments reflect poorly on the entire PATA organization as he is a founder of this organization. Bob Harding is only the spokesperson.

Finally, I spoke at Heritage Elementary School re-dedication just like I spoke at the two new middle schools dedication as the co-chairman of the successful levy committee that secured community support & funding for the three projects. Our Pride in Pickerington Schools Committee co-chair, Hope Boren, was also given the opportunity to speak. I spoke at the ground breaking of each school and the Pickerington for Kids Committee chairman, John Maurer, spoke at the ground breaking for the new high school and junior high.

Please ask Mr. Rigelman to act responsibility and refrain from the use of the word terrorists and hijacking on a public formum. Thanks.
