Cape May - I'm disappointed that the Herald published the spout about the new fire chief in Cape May. I don't know the new chief, but this is a direct personal attack on a public servant without substantiating the facts. Who knows, this attack could be from a jealous co-worker who didn't get a promotion. It seems like the Herald goes to great lengths to edit out specifics in spouts that would enable readers to identify the target of a spout. This should never have been published. Unfortunately, the anonymous nature of this type of publication does not allow the chief to face his accuser.

Moderator's Note: 
Yes, we usually edit out specifics when it comes to private individuals, but not public figures on the public payroll. With that being said, if there are falsehoods in the original spout, the chief may address them in a Letter to the Editor. We would be happy to publish his side.
