Unattributed slurs had no place in story about Galbraith

BRATTLEBORO — I was disappointed by your willingness to print unattributed slurs against Sen. Peter Galbraith in your recent article [“State senator resigns from committee over campaign finance bill,” May 9].

As a frequent visitor to the Statehouse, I have heard similar comments and have a context to understand them. I read your article as an unattributed interview with Senator Jeanette White.

I found it interesting that nothing was said about how unusual it is for a Senate committee chair to forget to bring a bill to the floor, or to recognize this as nonfeasance.

I'm curious why you didn't interview Senators Vince Illuzzi or Bill Doyle, who work well with Sen. Galbraith. I can't help but interpret it as favoritism toward Senator White.

The Commons editorial policy prohibits anonymous letters and website comments. I suggest the same apply to reporters.
