Editor’s note: The following letter was sent to our sister paper, the Salem Gazette, but concerned an article that also appeared in the Swampscott Reporter.
To the editor:
I am writing to in regards to an article you wrote in the Salem Gazette on March 2, 2012 called “Swampscott woman seeks to start a North Shore landlord’s association” where by you wrote “Devendorf, who owns Bay State/Sun State Realty, said there are similar groups around the state, but none on the North Shore.” She is hoping landlords from Marblehead, Salem Swampscott, Lynn, and Saugus will attend. …
This is very strange because I belong to the Greater Salem Landlord Association and have been a member since it was started by a fellow landlord Mary Woodcock five years ago. I also have met Stacey Devendorf at some of the GSLA meetings and she is a paid member as of 2012. How can she state that she knows of no other group in the North Shore? The entire article reads as if the GSLA doesn’t exist. When people are seeking resources they will not know about the Greater Salem Landlord Association. The other stange thing is that I am pretty sure that the Gazette has published articles in the past acknowledging the GSLA.
The GSLA has been built from the ground up by people who really care about their fellow landlords and making things better for both tenants and landlords.
Please set the record straight. Maybe you could write an article about the GSLA.
— Nancy Moore, Member of GSLA
