Letter: Column over the top on bad smells

Dear Editor, Re: “Stink is breaking my stride,” Voices, Dec. 16. I’m not impressed with the comments by Evan Dunfee, race-walker turned amateur toxicologist, who spent weeks training in Shanghai and Beijing.

Dear Editor,

Re: “Stink is breaking my stride,” Voices, Dec. 16.

I’m not impressed with the comments by Evan Dunfee, race-walker turned amateur toxicologist, who spent weeks training in Shanghai and Beijing.

The air quality in those cities is a health hazard categorized by the World Health Organization which Richmond has never experienced. 

Of course, the stinky smell in Richmond needs to be fixed, but to call it criminal is hyperbole of Donald Trump proportions.
