Readers Write: Ex commish has right to endorse a candidate

The Island Now

We wholeheartedly agree with Elizabeth Allen’s analysis of Ruth Tamarin’s years as Commissioner on the Great Neck Park District’s Board.

 On the other hand we cannot comprehend, why Ms.Allen conjured up her malicious account of Mrs. Tamarin for using her first amendment right on behalf of Sharon Epstein.   

Does this attack reveal what Ms. Allen’s motivations might have been, were she in Ms.Tamarin’s position.

 We do not believe that Ms. Tamarin, while she was a park commissioner, would have the right to endorse a candidate for park commissioner.  

But as a former commissioner we believe she has every right, almost a duty, to endorse the candidate that she feels is the best  qualified   person to fill the office.

 We want to applaud Ms. Tamarin for her years as a visionary and effective commissioner and for her  devoted and unselfish service to our  community
