Ridiculous.

That is the only word that comes to mind after reading recent Letters to the Editor. To suggest a person, (commissioner), should resign from a job, not by their own merits, but because a relative may, or may not have acted morally, or legally correct, by your standards. Sounds like a return to medieval days, with narrow-minded people.
