Runsvold letter: State government

Sherry Gordon’s guest opinion is a sad commentary on the state of our state.

The “people’s lobbyists” are supposed to be our elected representatives but it is obvious that, in the aggregate, they aren’t. We need to elect new ones who are.

Hold your nose if you have to and vote Democrat. Getting some balance back into checks and balances is the only hope.

James M. Runsvold, Caldwell
