Letter to the Editor from (the nearly) Mrs. Antinoro

Dear Editor,

As you may know, I am soon-to-be Mrs. Antinoro, a name I shall accept with pride and dignity. I can’t wait until my family is finally complete with the addition of a warm and caring husband and father to my daughter.

I doubt you’ll be shocked to learn that only 2 days after Sheriff Antinoro took his future daughter to the Father-Daughter Day dance, an active participant and enthusiastic supporter of Team Recall was inquiring into the whereabouts of my ex-husband. The claimed intent was to “warn him” of my daughter’s growing relationship with her soon-to-be stepdad. Tragic. However, if they knew anything about my ex-husband at all, they would hail Sheriff Antinoro as the Father of the Year.

Team Recall has exposed its true motives, once again. Shamefully, there is no concern for protecting even the most innocent of Storey County’s citizens from the personal vengeance fueling this minority movement. To them, my daughter and I are nothing but collateral damage, and so are you once your vote is no longer needed, which is precisely what this recall is meant to achieve. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that this effort has anything to do with the good of the community. That’s the gag. They seek to APPOINT – not elect – a Sheriff that will comply, that will look the other way, and that will take us all a “Step Back in Time.”

We all deserve better. Retain Sheriff Gerald Antinoro.

Disgusted,
Laura DeSimone
