What is the appropriate attire for any individual serving as an elected representative? What about when that individual is transgendered and serving in a public capacity?

This question is being asked in Silverton after Silverton Together director Brenda Sturdevant filed a formal written complaint against Silverton mayor Stu Rasmussen on July 16.

The complaint came after Rasmussen discussed leadership with Silverton area youth in early July.

Type casting applies to wardrobe. If you are dressed correctly you can go anywhere. Appearance is very important to get people to respect you.

All of life is a costume party, you just have to know who is sending the invitation.
