While this is an opinion piece and, I do feel as though that should be considered, I don't think this is a good piece of journalism. The author is entitled to his opinion, but he does not use any factual evidence or sources to back up his claim. No one is cited in this article and he does not have any evidence showing that Schaefer did not care about, specifically, Montgomery County. Schaefer just died, and he accomplished an extraordinary amount of things as a public servant, this article does not give justice to what he accomplished. I know that the public should see all sides of the story and the man, but this article did not do that fairly. If he wants to talk about Schaefer than he needs to support his evidence with sources.
