07/15/2006: "Property Owners Are "Freeholders""

To the Editor:

I am presently a freeholder. I have been a freeholder since moving here years ago and acquiring real property. We elected a number of freeholders to represent all of us in drafting a charter, and that election empowered those elected to undertake a certain chore. That a group of freeholders choose to co-sign a letter is appropriate and by common usage intends to inform readers that they were part of the group that was elected.

That Madrona Murphy writes "the freeholders cannot submit an open letter because they do not exist" probably indicates what might charitably be called "intellectually challenged." The pity is that we are not yet beneficiaries of her being a "former freeholder."
