Letters

Happy that President Obama has nominated Loretta Lynn for attorney general. Now he will realize how important it is to dig for fuel here in the United States from a bona fide coal miners’ daughter.

Farewell city council meetings, I am taking some time off for all of what I went through with this election. They will never let people be involved; I was lied to, to my face. For example, I had an endorsement packet from the firefighters association for an endorsement letter. I never received anything. Then I come to find out they were never giving one out. So why would they give me a packet and make me go through the process and then say they are not doing that this year? I also did one for the county chambers. Another mislead there. It was all a joke to them. Another thing is when I was getting my nominations to run, I turned it in and was qualified on Aug. 4, 2014. Then I was told I had to go back out there and get more because the signatures were not valid, signatures from the thrift shop owner and coffee shop owner and other businesses. When I looked at Ignacio’s signatures and they were so unreadable and scribbled. But yet they all passed. It was ridiculous. That is how I feel they do not treat people equally. Another example; I found out on Nov. 4, the day of the election that the person in charge there told me that Ignacio got the endorsement letter because he employs people. Where is the job creation? There is none. They have top salaries and make enough money off overtime. They can do whatever they want. And avoid work.

Last Tuesday, our nation honored and remembered brave men and women who have served our country in the armed forces or who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  We should continue to recognize them year round and more importantly, continue to teach our younger generations about the importance of honoring our veterans from an early age.

Thank you for allowing members of the public to voice their position on transportation.
