Letter: Pick of former lobbyist is no surprise

The Columbian
Published: April 19, 2011, 12:00am

Imagine that, a former lobbyist is going to Olympia to represent the 49th Legislative District. The only question I have is, whom will Sharon Wylie represent? I bet she will more closely represent the wishes of those who chose her than the folks she represents. We all whine about lobbyists back in D.C. and the harmful effects they have on us. Perhaps we should turn our eyes and scorn to Vancouver and Clark County commissioners “Moe, Larry and Curly,” who have just elevated one lobbyist to rule over us in Olympia.
