To the Editor,

I was perplexed by the story, “Fung Falls Short.” I respect the authors, but was stunned they framed the issue on individual candidates’ resumes.

No. I think Mayor Fung’s a good guy a, good mayor. But I could not vote for him joining with the current GOP’s agenda.

I sent Mayor Fung homemade PostArt three times a week in the last month of the campaign urging him not to join today’s anti-democratic GOP. In my last missive to him, post-election, I urged he take on the mantle of a new GOP and manifest a real “loyal opposition.” Mayor Fung was not rejected personally, but for what the GOP planned to do.

No thanks to that. I wish Mayor Fung well. I hope he thinks about forging a new RI GOP, whether I agree or not. That he did not win, means he can forge a new way.
