Sentinel reporting unfair to developer who wanted to buy hospital property

I am extremely unhappy about the misleading headline in the June 26 Sentinel.

I was shocked when I first read it and said immediately that it was very poor reporting. I believe the Wrangell Sentinel owes Mr. Wayne Johnson, the city and the public a sincere apology.

I am sympathetic to Mr. Johnson’s situation. Your reporting made it appear that he was taking advantage of Wrangellites. It was very unfair and detrimental to progress for Wrangell.

I am also very sad for Wrangell. It was an exciting and hopeful opportunity to have a purchaser for the old hospital and also to have a means for demolition. We do need more housing and outside investors to develop the community.

Please be more responsible in your reporting.
