Groveman was unfairly criticized

In letters in both the Feb. 13 and Feb. 20 issues of The Acorn, there were claims that Barry Groveman and his wife had not voted in recent elections. After personally looking at the information available from the Registrar of Voters, I feel these claims were intended to mislead the readers.

A check with the Registrar of Voters reveals that both Mr. and Mrs. Groveman have a 98 percent voting record over the past 10 years, among the highest of all the candidates. Further investigation shows that up until 1997 the Grovemans lived in an unincorporated area of Calabasas and therefore couldn’t vote in a local election. These are very civic-minded people.

You’ve got to ask yourself what motivates people to mislead or smear an opponent.
