Mayor Richard Hildreth Damns His Own Legacy

Recent televised news reports and other sources show Pacific Mayor Richard Hildreth, who was defeated by a write-in candidate in the November election, predicting that the new mayor, Cy Sun, will represent trouble for the city. Sun's own statements indicate this is true.

What Mr. Hildreth doesn't seem to get is that the election of Mr. Sun is a direct result of how Mr. Hildreth ran the city. People were dissatisfied enough with him to give him the boot and elect "Anybody but Rich." The chickens came home to roost, and Mr. Hildreth is, in effect, criticizing the fruits of his labor.

Robert Smith, member, Pacific City Council, 2002-2004.
