I received a mailer from U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, regarding what should be done about the sea lions eating salmon. I filled out the questionnaire but it got me to wondering why I had never received a flier asking me if I thought we need more tax cuts for the wealthy, continued huge dollar amounts to Big Oil companies in the form of subsidies, should defund Planned Parenthood, get rid of the health care for millions of people, shut down our government if demands aren’t met, waste more taxpayer millions on GOP “witch hunt” Benghazi investigations, fire teachers over supposed incompetence, or remove dollars from public schools.
It would appear to me that Herrera Beutler only seeks my input on certain issues. This isn’t quite what I call listening to constituents.
