Editor,

I am writing in response to Ed Meyer’s letter to the editor, published in the June 24 Whidbey News-Times.

His letter was well stated. Change is needed, but not by defunding our police, who are here to help keep law and order — a necessity for civil liberties.

We need to vote out the politicians who no longer serve the people, and who have created more problems than solving them.
