Councilman Kostock praises Gondolier fairness over years
Councilman Ken Kostock, a Gondolier subscriber since 1965, says he bears no malice toward the paper and has always been treated fairly. He recalls engaging editors during a past asphalt plant controversy. Mayor Proctor has read Kalajian’s memorandum and the related editorial but declines further comment. Other council members were unavailable.
