Schrecongost letter: Elect Steve Berch
If you want to know whether your legislators really represent you, look at what they do, not what they say — especially in an election year.
Rep. Lynn Luker says he wants to strengthen education, but he’s consistently voted to cut school funding — a whopping 23 percent over 10 years. Of the 50 states, only Arizona has cut more.
But have your taxes and your rent gone down? No — they’ve gone up. What’s going on here?
If you care about quality schools and are tired of seeing your property taxes go up, vote for Steve Berch in District 15.
