Letter: Party statement irrelevant  The article was about the
senator’s son being arrested for various charges, including DWI,
hit and run, etc.  The article also went on to report that last
year, the senator’s brother, who is the mayor of New Orleans,
also had a son that was arrested for a DWI. The article then
ends with the sentences that “The mayor and senator are
siblings. Both are Democrats.”  What has the fact that “Both are
Democrats” have to do with the article? It was an uncalled-for
statement and should not have been printed.  Phyllis Daigle
