I read the Viewpoint page every day, respond in my mind and then go about my business.
One particular letter from Janet Quarrie, on March 4, has sat in my craw ever since I read it. The letter attacked Mayor Muryn for being “younger and better looking” than the previous mayor, which was an undeserved backhand to Mayor Mihalik.
That short diatribe against our local “cutie” was as biased and prejudiced as I have ever seen in The Courier. Mayor Muryn was attacked for her looks, sex and age.
I believe Ms. Quarrie owes mayors Muryn and Mihalik apologies.
When I was introduced to Lydia Mihalik seven years ago, I was immediately impressed with her intelligence, total grasp of situations, enthusiasm for Findlay and her oratory ability.
The voters were right. She was a tremendous mayor.
I’ve worked for and been appointed to many commissions and boards by every mayor since Bentley Burr, and those leaders were all very good. Mayor Mihalik was the best of the best and in my estimation, Christina Muryn has all the same qualities to continue this service which has served Findlay so well.
Mayor Muryn is intelligent, well-educated (University of Findlay), enthusiastic, level-headed, patient, yet quick to action when needed and well spoken.
She also will be a fulltime mayor representing everyone.
And by the way Ms. Quarrie, Muryn is every bit as nice on the inside as she is on the outside.
I’ve been involved in city politics for many years and I have found the members of the Central Committee to be sincere, educated, honest and determined to do the best for their party and community.
Those members voted using their independence, knowledge of the situation and the people involved.
In an open democratic process, by a 2 to 1 majority, they selected Christina Muryn as the person they felt was best suited to continue representing the City of Findlay as mayor. I would encourage the voters to follow that lead.
