After casting my vote Tuesday, I told a worker there was going to be a lot of confusion concerning the write-in votes.

As you have probably read in this newspaper (“Treasurer again gets failing grades,” Sept. 30), there have been quite a number of poor audit reports from the state. Lost revenue, late fees, poor accounting practices, etc., have caused chaos in the city building.
