The commissioners of the Town of Dewey Beach feel compelled to voice our strong support of Town Manager Marc Appelbaum in response to recent opinions expressed by James Pryzgocki.
First, it is important to state that the commissioners, town manager, and staff are committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government.
Second, it is important to remember that a letter to the editor is an expression of opinion, not fact. The town manager’s contract terms were subjected to legal review and unanimously approved by counsel. The commissioners have fully reviewed the facts, and found that Mr. Appelbaum has, as always, conducted himself in an ethical and responsible manner and is in full compliance with both the letter and the spirit of his employment contract.
We have complete confidence in our town manager.
Diane Hanson, mayor and Dewey Beach Town Council

A letter to the editor expresses a reader's opinion and, as such, is not reflective of the editorial opinions of this newspaper.
To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to newsroom@capegazette.com. Letters must be signed and include a telephone number and address for verification. Please keep letters to 500 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content and length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days. Letters restating information and opinions already offered by the same author will not be used. Letters must focus on issues of general, local concern, not personalities or specific businesses.
