Is Rights a Role Model?

Dear Editor:

How ironic that in the “Parents Return to School to Learn about Positive Youth Development” article on page 8 of the Oct 29th issue of the COURIER that the town of Southeast Supervisor Michael Rights is in the picture.

Wasn’t Mr. Rights arrested back in 2007 and 2008 twice over a 13-month time frame for DWI? I believe in his first offense when he totaled his car on Miltown Rd. his BAC was .12.
