Dear Editor,
Like elections across the country, our local school board race has not been immune from overheated rhetoric. In the 22 years my family and I have lived in the New Glarus community, this is the first time I have witnessed so many negative personal comments being made about candidates. This may in part be due to the negative impact of social media. Regardless of the reason(s), I hope this doesn’t forecast the future.
New Glarus is a warm, welcoming and vibrant community and we are far better than this.
Sincerely,
Bill Oemichen,
