Letter to the editor: Could John Peck’s behavior be factor in his loss?

You reported that an apparently disgruntled John Peck, who was defeated by Nicole Ziccarelli in his reelection bid to continue as Westmoreland County district attorney, has, according to Ziccarelli, “so far refused to cooperate with the transition” (“Westmoreland County DA-elect Nicole Ziccarelli says transition team not getting cooperation from predecessor,” Dec. 23, TribLIVE). If your reporting is correct, is it possible that this type of childish behavior may have been a factor in Peck’s loss?
