Look Out Lonigans, Combatants At The Door

To the Editor:

This letter was written before EPURA ballots were counted, so I have no way of knowing how the vote will turn out.  (As Mark Twain surely must have said: “Any man who claims he knows how an election will turn out will lie about other things as well.”)

“Friends of EPURA” plan a Tuesday election watch dinner at Peak to Peak American Grille. I don’t know what those on the other side of the issue have in mind for that evening. Afterwards, when the dust settles, I will ask Ralph Nicholas, Jon Nicholas, Byron Hall and Bill Van Horn-leaders of the abolish-EPURA drive-to join me at Lonigans for a couple pitchers of beer. They are friends and I haven’t even had a cup of coffee with them for weeks.

So look out Lonigans-five friends will descend on you to celebrate the end of a campaign. As Tiny Tim (Dickens’ A Christmas Carol) said: “God bless us, every one!”
