The article concerning fentanyl abuse in Tuesday's paper was absolutely the story that should have been written following Mr. England's death. It was respectful to the deceased and informative to the reader; it expressed the grief of a community at the loss of a loved individual and brought a real problem in our community to the collective attention of your readership.
Bravo, Mr. Riordan, for doing what should have been done weeks ago. It is unfortunate that your appropriate and useful story can not replace the original story that lacked both of those qualities. This type of news piece should serve as a benchmark for the future.
