Oddly ad hominum with a hint of appealing to authority... was there actually something wrong with the facts of the letter or just the messenger's past? (much of which text was in a form letter than showed up in the public commentary - which was almost universally supportive of the bill it seemed as long as it added back in the public notice provisions.)
