Reconsider stance on BTAC

I am writing in regard to Dan Ortoski’s letter that appeared in the

Leader on Sept. 20.

I understand your anger and frustration with the decision by the

Burbank Temporary Aid Center board of directors to fire Pat Smola as

executive director while she was on workers’ compensation leave.

While you are entitled to withdraw your support of BTAC, I would

like you to know that I am unhappy with your decision. See, BTAC has

helped me and on occasion is still doing what they can for me. If you

and others do not give donations to BTAC, then people like me who are

falling through the cracks of an inane system will suffer.

I urge you and others to rethink your position, and that also

includes the BTAC board.
