I wrote to Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, asking if she planned to vote for President Donald Trump’s Republican “tax reform” measure, which would blow up the federal deficit to the tune of $1.5 trillion. She sent me a reply “responding to your message” which completely failed to address my question. The congresswoman again showed a lack of courage to publicly engage with her constituents. Her cowardice, such as by refusing to face her voters at a real town hall, continues.
