Ham Hayes has posted a well-worded response to the Herald editorial that ran in today's paper. Ham is running for Bellingham City Council, but he speaks for all local candidates in his short and pithy post. The Herald slammed local candidates for what the Herald says they have heard "on the campaign trail" so far. Well - if the Herald has heard anything they have certainly kept that from their readers. Of course no local campaign reporting in today's paper. Just empty pontificating from someone who knows little about local politics. Read what Ham has to say.
