Yousuf:

I was pleased to learn the results of our local mayoral vote from your newspaper. It was right there at the news rack by the downtown Post Office and my look at the Wednesday local paper hadn’t shown any information.

Your grammar could be improved by not putting an “s” after names you use an apostrophe with that end in “s.” “Salinas’s” would be written as “Salinas’.”

Otherwise, I appreciate the information from a source with enough perspective to watch for potential misleading tallies.

Cordially,
