Letters on college election prompt scrutiny of votes
Joseph D. Mendoza of Baytown reflects on letters to The Sun about a Lee College Regents race. He notes Gertrude Teter’s July 2 letter criticizing funding and possible unscrupulous influence, mentions James Haarmeyer’s $5,000 contributions, and cites reactions from Wilma Neill and D. H. Fulcher in July. He argues Gertrude’s opposition was based on opinion, not accusation, and connects three June 21 2015, June 28 2015, and June 30 2015 Sun stories to the controversy.
