I particularly object to Milton Mathews endorsing canididates as he accepts a salary paid for by all citizens in Reston including myself who is also a Citizen candidate. Some will say well it was a mistake but if so Milton has yet to apoligize or correct it in this last week of the campaign. And this is just accepted as Reston politics and I am somehow viewed as out of lind to so say. If the connected and empowered wish to decide on who will be the succesful candidate is it unfair to not so say this at the outset so that citizen candidates will not waste their time in elections which they have little chanch to actually win? This seems les like democracy and more like totalarism.- Rod Koozmin Not only did Mr Elder endorse candidate but also Milton Mathews As did Robin Sowers and it was the same three.
