A letter disputes Mr Stewart's reply in the Tribune, accusing him of personal attack while arguing the Fairfield Board of Supervisors exceeded authority by altering individual bank assessments. The writer cites Montes v McQuiston and Royce v Jenny, asserts the county attorney's record shows Thoma & Thoma as defense counsel, and defends his own public integrity and pledge to serve if elected county attorney.
