This is in regard to the article “Municipal court judge ordered to pay civil penalty for failing to file election paperwork,” (The Daily Astorian, Sept. 22).

I see that The Daily Astorian’s vendetta against Kris Kaino continues. It amazes me that Mr. Kaino’s failure to file a form garnered the headline and the majority of the article, while there were “a number of” other candidates who did not file the same form. None of those candidates were named, with the exception of two who were very briefly mentioned at the end of the article, but none had their occupation listed.

The only reason Mr. Kaino’s career has been “in the spotlight” is because The Daily Astorian had made it so. It never misses an opportunity, real or imagined, to bash Kris Kaino. Am I the only one who wonders what the agenda might be?

I find it doubly underhanded to byline this last article with the East Oregonian Publishing Group, which The Daily Astorian is part of.
