Dear U-B, reporting the experiences of the medical and nursing staff at Dayton Hospital regarding Virginia Romine's tenure might be very useful to the local electorate before they cast their vote for coroner.

Concidering the UB's involvement with the White campaign and Jay Tucker in trying to slander John Turner in the article printed just a few days ago I will take that into account when reviewing their choices. Obviously one sided, opinionated reporting. The UB's opinion means nothing to me.

I always laugh at this when it comes out. Why would I care what your choice is? And really what does it mean. Who has the final say in your opinion and is that not their opinion in the end. Oh just give us a break

The UB is a joke....and should be ran out of town. Bought and paid for by the good ol'e boy system. 90% of what they say is hog wash, just vote the opposite of what they say and you'll get it right. Nothing and I mean nothing creditable comes from this rag. I have stopped my delivery of the daily paper and when the election is over, I will stop the on-line as well. Seattle needs to be aware of what kind of reporting (not) they wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit them on the nose.
