March 13: Our readers write

No need for derogatory terms
I have been a very loyal News-Enterprise subscriber and reader now for almost 10 years.
It was bad of you to say city government was “spending money like a bunch of drunken sailors,” as quoted on the front page of a recent paper (After debate, council approves expanded role of Heritage director, March 8.) It is derogatory and very outdated. When people make ignorant statements like that, do you have to publish it?
I am a retired (26 years) Master Chief Petty Officer E-9 from the U.S. Navy. Born and raised in Hardin County, I came back here to retire. I love Kentucky and all the military in the area.
I hate all ignorant statements about any military organization. We take enough stuff as it is.
Keep up the good work. I love The News-Enterprise. I read it six days a week.
