Like Richard D. Champion (Jan. 23 letter), I also ran into Martin Moore while he was campaigning for election to the Council. I expressed the frustration that residents have about the shoddy traffic light timing that makes crossing the city a real chore.

He said he would follow my explanation that the traffic light issue is a hot button issue and, if elected he would see to it that the person in charge be replaced by someone more competent. All talk, no action. I put a sign up for him in my yard as he seemed enthusiastic.

But, as Champion expressed, “true to form, he’s done nothing.” This person who declared himself a strong Democrat — yet now has morphed into a Republican— has a long way to go to even be considered for Council reelection much less a state position.
