Letter was off mark

From William and Jessie Durkin, Wixom:

My wife and I read, with great interest, the letter printed in your Aug. 22-28 edition entitled “Don’t wag fingers.” The letter was submitted by Nancy Dingeldey. In her letter she describes the Wixom City Council and administration as being “rude, defensive and disdainful” at the council meeting that was held on Aug. 15.

We were at that meeting and the only persons who displayed the behavior described by Ms. Dingeldey were Ms. Dingeldey and Wayne Glessner. The only “finger wagging” and finger pointing was done by Ms. Dingeldey while she was at the podium during the “Call to the Public.” The council members, including Mayor (Kevin) Hinkley, remained courteous and professional throughout the entire meeting despite Ms. Dingeldey’s and Wayne Glessner’s verbal attack on them.

It seemed to us that Nancy Dingeldey and Wayne Glessner have an agenda other than helping resolve Wixom’s finance problems.

We just want to set the record straight and to let your readers know what we had observed at the City Council meeting, and it was totally different than the allegations made by Ms. Dingeldey.
