The Sheriff's Support Group blog has posted a letter from some prominent Altadenans, presumably to the Star-News, in support of the county sheriff. Among the signatories is Altadena Town Councilman Ken Balder and presumed councilman-elect Tecumseh Shackelford. This letter takes issue with the May 30 letter from councilman Steve Lamb in PSN offering himself and presumed outgoing council chair George Lewis as escorts for anyone who wants to file a formal complaint. (Another Town Council snit for your consideration).
7/3 Update: Transparency: Steve Lamb has written Altadenablog with a lengthy response to the letter linked above. However, due to its length (we're a blog -- we do short) and certain content, we told Steve we could not run it as written. (In addition, we're not exactly sure why we're supposed to run full responses to letters that we only link to.) We informed him that, if our standards were that restrictive to him, he was welcome to post anything he wanted to in another forum, such as his own blog, and we'd happily link to it. He does not think this sufficient, and that's where we stand now.
