Selective reading

The people criticizing Mr. Whitten’s attempt to recall two county commissioners must be very selective in their reading of the newspaper. The newspaper publisher, as well as the county prosecutor, both explained how the Open Public Meeting Law was violated. What is it about public officials breaking a law that some of you do not understand?

Government should operate in the open. Violators of this fundamental principle should be held accountable, no matter the cost.

Backs Romeyn

I was shocked to read a recent editorial by our current incumbent 5th District Congressional Representative in the Walla Walla Union Bulletin.

She maintains that we are losing “The American Dream.” Good grief, she is part of the problem!

Now is the time to elect Daryl Romeyn as our Congressional Representative from the 5th District.

Farm friends, Romeyn understands your problems and the need for increased sales internationally and will help you all by introducing positive legislation, not sitting on the sidelines. Further, Romeyn will actively support research to improve your crops and yields.

Romeyn is fiscally prudent, yet he understands the need for fiscal policies that help the worker, not just the fat cats of Wall Street.

Romeyn will make sure that any new federal spending if offset by a corresponding decrease in other programs. Romeyn supports building our area’s infrastructure.

Romeyn will work with both sides of the aisle in Congress, not simply be lead by the nose by party big-wigs to obstruct, as is the case with the incumbent.
