PelhamToday received the following letter to the editor from reader Chris Aqui, who expresses mirth in being fooled this April Fools Day:
Last night as I slowed down at the end of my day. I had a glass of Niagara's finest and started to read what's happening locally. I read the article about the speed camera's and found myself getting upset...very upset about what I was reading. So upset that I thought council was out to lunch and all needed to be replaced in the next election.
Hence, the genie came out of the bottle. I quickly found a picture of council and if I successfully ran in the next municipal election, I would bring down the average age of council...I am sure.
As I got to the end of the article, I realized I had been had and laughed at myself for getting so worked up. However, like I said, the genie is out of the bottle...after the laughter, the inclination to run in the next municipal election did not dissipate.
