Editor,

Just have to respond to the personal attacks that Mr. Monson has made on commissioner Jill Johnson.

I think that he has gone way beyond his COER objective.

If Commissioner Johnson wants to write letters stating her position, that is what the military has fought and died for.

Also to challenge her personal religion and faith for a noise is way out-of-bounds.

I do not think Mr. Monson really understands the impact of not allowing the Navy to use OLF. Some time ago the Navy was very close to closing OLF and the Oak Harbor Navy base. If the Navy moves out then that would be the end of Oak Harbor and many more employers.

I would hope Mr. Monson and his organization would reconsider their lawsuit and not make personal attacks.
