In a June 1 editorial you stated, “Today, the Republicans hold precisely one seat (on the 30-member New Haven Board of Aldermen).”
I'll grant you that two is not nearly enough, either, but wonder which alderman you weren't counting: Deputy Minority Leader Anthony Santino (R-18), elected last November to a second term with more than 1,000 votes, the highest number received by any candidate for alderman, or Minority Leader Nancy Ahearn (R-25), re-elected to a fourth term with a 63-percent plurality.
Both Santino and Ahearn have received a fair amount of media coverage elsewhere, most recently as they have been asked to comment on the latest scandal swirling around the City Hall Democrats. How did you miss them?

The editor replies: We apologize for the error, and wish only that it did not dilute the editorial's message, which is that voters are ill-served by single-party government.
AMPLIFICATION
Due to an editing error, a June 15 OUT TO LUNCH review of Donovan's reef omitted the initial reference to restaurant manager Josh Kroop, referring to him by his surname only. We regret the error.
