Mr. McGuinty;

I would be grateful if you would tell me if the allegation made in the attached press release is factual. If it is correct that James McKeachie has filed a lien against the property of Mr. and Mrs. Montague, was the action taken with the knowledge and approval of yourself and AG Michael Bryant.

Unless you can convince me otherwise, I view the alleged action as a vile and perverse abuse of state power, which was not unusual in some dictatorships and common in the peoples' republics. It is my experience that an increasing number of citizens are starting to view the state, and its officials, with fear and distrust. If the trend continues, when will our "civil" society disintegrate?

I really look forward to your comments.
