No Respect From Dunbar

RECEIVED Mon., March 21, 2011

Dear Editor,
    The “City Hall Hustle” columnist should be given another beat. It becomes more and more obvious that he thinks little of the importance of his assigned subject and would be happier guzzling beer and listening to music. Can't say I blame him, if it weren't for his obligation to inform his readers and his obligation to take that charge seriously. He continuously makes light of the possibly criminal actions of city public servants (that's what the staff and council are) and minimizes the importance of their violations of citizens rights and possibly criminal acts against the citizens of Austin. If such issues seem small to Mr. Dunbar, he is obviously a poor choice to represent the investigative interests of your readership and, I would hope, that of The Austin Chronicle. Mr. Dunbar seems to be infected by the same lack of respect for the citizenry as the City Hall he purports to cover.
