Letter to the Editor - Learn to grin and bear it

Editor,

As a representative of the people of Havre on our non-partisan City Council, Andrew Brekke, you still have a right to your personal political opinions and decisions.

In your current role, however, you should expect the same attacks on your expressed opinions as you have launched over the years at reporters for their alleged misquotes. As one of many area newspaper reporters and editors whom you’ve repeatedly vilified, I can commiserate with what you’re going through now. 

I can’t count the number of anonymous threats I received through the mail during my 23 years on the beat. If you’re like me, Andrew, you may become inured, but you’ll never be immune.

It’s come time for you to do what we’ve all had to do: Learn to grin and bear it.

Sincerely,

Alan Sorensen

Havre
