Given the recent barrage of "Letter to the Editor" disclaimers in the paper, I wonder just how does the paper confirm identities of "letter" contributors. The recent "letter" posted a week or so ago claiming wrongdoings and lies about myself and Molena's City Council was formatted to appear as an article, by someone who has never addressed Council, who is not a Molena resident, and for that matter cannot be found in the state of Georgia. Very interesting indeed. I wish I knew so that their lies could be appropriately confronted and addressed for our residents.
