    Cut out voters in finance revamp? No, moderator says

    The following viewpoint was submitted by John D.

His comments remain relevant in May: The Arlington Boys & Girls Club sent a letter, dated Feb. 7, 2013, to current members, informing them of an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse of children at the Club. While this letter reads as apologetic in tone and at first reading seemingly complete in explaining the situation, some statements in the letter raise further questions: ...
