To the editor -- Transparency is a significant part of Dan Williams' platform as a candidate for county coroner. Minus his co-workers -- the people he supervises -- every funeral home owner and every funeral director in Yakima County has endorsed Marshall Slight. In writing.
If he was transparent, Williams would have disclosed that. Instead, he created -- or tried to create -- the false impression that he was offered their support and then rejected their support.
If he has support from anybody in the funeral industry, it comes only from the folks he supervises. He didn't reject what was never offered, and/or what he never had.
Marshall Slight is and has been transparent. Honest. Caring. Vote Marshall Slight for coroner.

Opinion columns:
Opinion columns represent the personal views of the writer, not the position of the newspaper.
