Letters to the Editor

Don’t like the politicans? Then vote them out

I read the Letters to the Editor every morning. I read a lot of complaining about our politicians - a lot! I would just like to know why, if you are so unhappy with their work ethic (or lack of), why do you keep voting them in?

A new slate of politicians is called for. Not voting the same old-same old ones back in office and then complaining about how they don't do their jobs is not the way to go. Time to give new blood a chance and see what they can do, because the ones we have now have done nothing. When a politician is up for re-election, do your homework and read up on what he/she has done or not done, then make a wise decision.
