Letter To The Editor: Robert Maguire Apologizes For Incident At Ironworks Auto Sales In Wood River

Letter To The Editor:

On February 25, I made an error in judgment. I went to Ironworks Auto Sales to speak with the owners. I felt comfortable speaking with them and considered them friends, so much so that in the past they stayed at our family vacation cabin. It hurt personally seeing a campaign sign supporting my wife’s opposition at their business. Unfortunately, I became emotional.

I have apologized several times to the owners for my actions. Again, I’m extending my heartfelt apologies to them, Councilman Stalcup, the good people of Wood River and my wife.
