To the Editor:

Some time ago I wrote a letter to the Editor of Killingworth Today expressing my confusion over the conflicting positions held by the two candidates of the "Progressive Party" concerning the issue of Affordable Housing in Killingworth. One was strongly in favor and the other vehemently opposed to the concept. Diametrically opposed positions on the same, important issue. It was confusing to me and I wondered how these two could possibly govern when they weren't even on the same wavelength.

Now Mr. Amport has me confused again.

Many weeks ago members of the Republican State Central Committee, which I am honored to be one of, and Republican town Committee Chairmen, received a letter from Mr. Amport informing us of his decision to resign from the Republican Party and to register as an unaffiliated voter in order to run for office as an independent. To date Mr. Amport has not resigned from the Party nor does it appear that he has any intention of doing so.

The reason he has not resigned remains a mystery.

Why the deception? Won't the truth serve him well enough?

Editor's Note: The Killingworth Registrar of Voters has noted that Amport changed his affiliation to unaffiliated shortly after forming the Killingworth Progressive party.
