Lopez should have known

To The Editor:

Re "Lopez says Post is toxic, as funds are withheld" (news article, Aug. 10):

What the hell is wrong with Margarita Lopez? At issue isn't what people believe or don't believe. At issue is her taking money from Scientology Inc. - and then taking taxpayer money and handing it over to Scientology under the guise of their thoroughly dubious treatment.

Lopez could have spent five minutes on the Internet doing her homework to find out about Scientology, that it was contrived by a science-fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard who was a dope addict and alcoholic with no medical credentials or background.

Our elected officials are supposedly supposed to be smarter than the average citizen - at least that would be nice if they were. Instead, Margarita Lopez comes along and hands these people our money without a moment's thought. What's next? What other organization is she going to climb into bed with and then get paid by for screwing with our tax dollars?

Good frocking grief. Let's get this woman out of politics and out of our pockets.
