Letter: Enough blame to be passed around

The Columbian
Published: January 12, 2014, 4:00pm

Like a lot of people, I am kind of tired of everyone picking on state Sen. Don Benton, R-Vancouver. It is not his fault that he is not qualified for the job as environmental officer of Clark County, it’s the M&M boys. I mean who in their right mind would turn down the opportunity to skim so much money from the rest of us rubes?

Let me tell you, I am still going to vote for Benton next round because I have heard from sources that say they “cannot be quoted” that Benton is going to introduce and get passed a bill in the Washington state Senate that would require all politicians in the state to take an oath of honesty and not lie to us any longer. Now that is pretty progressive thinking, if you ask me.
