Legislator­s not working for citizens

-

Every time I read about our state legislator­s, they seem to be working for someone other than us. Trying to close the open records laws or keeping more campaign contributi­ons secret are changes not wanted by any voters.

Trying to gut the laws about the sale of public utilities to private companies is just the latest example. There is only one group that wants this done, the companies that want to buy them. When you are already for sale, it doesn’t take much of a leap to justify selling anything else.

How many more contributi­ons do they need to run in “safe” seats? I suggest a new law allowing legalized prostituti­on in the state. Then we can call our legislator­s what they really are.
