Haugen will be missed


December 14, 2011 · Updated 3:53 PM 

Virginia Haugen, only you would be classy enough to go out gracefully. Auburn lost a real advocate for our community.

Now we are back to the good ol' boys operation, with everyone going along with the program, never questioning and never really going out into the community to find out what is really going on and what the citizens really want.

No confrontation, no messy arguing and reality checks. This is an easier job under those circumstances, but far from being in the best interest of the community and a democratic way of using political power.

You are already missed, and people like you are becoming extinct, much to the detriment of an already compromised way of doing anything and everything political. You practiced politics in a human way and for that, we thank you.
