Editor, Gazette-Journal:

Supervisor Ingram, I have tried to call and email you, but have received no answer in months. However, I have noticed that you continue to find time to post and reply to many comments made on a private social media group. The comments you make on these sites lead me to believe you are also not attempting to communicate effectively with your fellow board members.

The other board members are not your competition, they are your teammates. Many citizens may not be an audience of the private social media groups, but they are still your neighbors and constituents.

I’m starting to wonder if you represent all of Mathews or just a small group. Can you help the board find a way to work together for the good of all citizens?
