Hyperpolitical county supervisors deserve a wall, not just a brickbat

Regarding “Here’s a challenge to SLO County supervisors: Get along and quit stoking division” (Bouquets and Brickbats, Jan. 11):

This might have been subtitled “Brickbat with no Bouquet.” Although the brickbat may have been much too small. That was a wall you dropped on hyperpolitical uncivil discourse. Good job, don’t let it go. It has gone too long! Real progress needs two-way, civil discussion. We don’t need and cannot afford the partisan paralysis of Washington.
