Editor,

I’m writing this letter to give your readers some facts regarding my son, James Raymond, who has served as the City Attorney for Polson for several years.

I understand that anyone in public office knows and expects that not everyone will agree with what they do, and they will face criticism. However, in the past months I have been very disturbed to see letters attacking his personal integrity, and accusing him of wrongdoing. Let me assure you, James is a man of integrity and complete honesty. He lives by a code of honor, which he considers inviolable. He would never do anything dishonest or unethical, either in his private life or as City Attorney.

If you doubt my words, ask anyone who knows him. It won’t be hard to find someone as he was born and raised here and knows a lot of people.

I have no doubt you will hear from them that he is a “stand-up guy.”

And please remember — when you use words to harm a good man’s reputation, you are doing a terrible thing.

Arline Raymond
