I was so saddened by the tragic news of the death of Randy Scott of Hardwick. Randy was my childhood friend and I have many happy memories of those innocent days in the ’60s. His premature death seems to be the result of the careless actions of a public official many of us have admired over the years. Nevertheless, Congressman Janklow’s record of reckless driving has now taken a heavy toll on two families. He must do the honorable thing and resign. Holding public office is a privilege and is clearly a position of public trust. Mr. Janklow’s actions have brought discredit to his office and his reputation. Principle would dictate that he hold true to his title of an "Honorable member of Congress." My opinion is not a partisan one. I felt former Pres. Clinton should have resigned for violating the public trust and for bringing dishonor to the high office of President. It’s not too late for Congressman Janklow to live up to his actions and forfeit his office since he no longer deserves the public’s support, respect and confidence.Bruce W.
