Editor, Daily News:
Your newspaper's recent editorial admonishing Bonita Springs Councilman Ben Nelson's decision to vote on the Imperial Landing development, one of the most important developments that may ever occur in Bonita Springs, portrays again the Daily News' biased agenda.
Did you ever consider that Nelson has an obligation to vote and represent his constituents? Denying him this right disenfranchises one-sixth of the residents of Bonita Springs. Isn't it more important that 7,000 residents be represented than one person denied?
Nelson has passed muster with the state ethics council; and let me tell you, if they ever err it will be on the conservative side. Having worked with Ben for six years, I have found his moral and ethical standards to be beyond your newspaper's reproach. I know from personal experience that if he thought he was crossing the line to vote, he would abstain.
His constituents and the residents of Bonita Springs are entitled to his insight and vote on this most important issue.
