I’m one of the majority of Hampden residents who has not been contacted by the Hampden Citizens Coalition for my opinion of Sawyer Environmental Recovery Facilities. SERF has been a good neighbor and has contributed as much, if not more, then it has taken.

On the other hand, the Hampden Citizens Coalition has made a lot of assumptions on the silence of the majority of Hampden citizens. I find these assumptions offensive, and the latest suggestion of a lawsuit shows the lack of respect and contempt these people have for their fellow townspeople.

On several occasions, I have been the victim of acid reflux while reading the latest antics of the coalition. This may have, or could possibly at this moment be causing, a detrimental effect on my health. Possibly something compensatory. Emery Zambo Hampden
