Letter to the Editor
Voters must put stop to government waste
Tuesday, July 10, 2012
To the Editor:
Our State is facing a budget crisis. Vital programs including mental health programs have been cut to the bone. Why isn't there any mention in the press about the $7 million dollars that was totally wasted on a non-binding Republican Presidential Primary in this state? Why did our representatives, Sen. Rob Mayer and Rep. Todd Richardson, back this total waste of money - money that could have been used to fund education, mental health and other important programs? Is it because they want to, specifically, put on a meaningless presidential beauty pageant? The waste will continue - unless the voters stop it. What a joke.
