Letter: Use voting power to remove Bob Parks from office

After reading about Councilman Parks’ recent Facebook post and comments it would be a gross understatement to say he is irreverent and disrespectful.

Although it is not illegal for Bob Parks to be a racist or a bigot, I cannot find a single definition of leader that includes these qualities. I sincerely hope that the residents of Kennewick decide to use their voting power to remove Parks from his position.
