Letters: Two sides of 'Johnny Doc'

Two sides of

'Johnny Doc'

Labor mogul John "Johnny Doc" Dougherty's accounts of the accomplishments of organized labor are well-founded ("Workers on parade," Tuesday). Unfortunately, he left out the side of organized labor that he represents - unbridled cronyism, nepotism, and access to unlimited funds, which he uses to the benefit of friends, family, and causes.

For example, would kid brother, Kevin, be a state Supreme Court judge on his own merit, and how much is he beholden to his older brother for getting him elected?

We'll never know. Perhaps that and other deeds are what federal and state investigators are looking into.
