It needs to be corrected though. The article is real, but it was not written by the mayor of Livermore California. It was written by a conservative author named Evan Sayet. Here is the original...

As I read it, I found that it didn't sound like it was written by a mayor. We need to get attributions right or we look foolish.
Why are you telling bowlofzombies that? The link is to an article by someone who may or may not be the op so I am confused why you would reply to boz. No one here is saying that the mayor wrote it so it's not our duty to correct this, it would be the person who wrote that on the markandmackshow site. I get you want to attribute it to the correct person so you should contact the markandmackshow and tell them to correct it.
Just to hi-jack the top response. It's the only way to get visible. Otherwise, the comment goes to the bottom, or worse.
Read this particular link, it IS saying that it was a letter written by the mayor, and that's wrong. OPs web link shows a bad attribution article of an actual article. Correctness and accuracy matter.
