To the editor:

I second Frank McCarthy’s May 30 letter regarding Executive Councilor Mike Cryans’ recent abstention on an important question before him. His excuse that he was not “comfortable going either way” was very revealing. Although I can appreciate his angst, Cryans, like all elected officials, are duty bound to vote on matters before them.
