Dear Editor: Correction to My Last Letter

Dear Editor,

Last week I wrote a letter to the editor stating that “politicians lie.” I need to correct that thought.

While we are used to politicians saying one thing to get elected and then doing another in office, that reference was too broad.

In Montana, we are fortunate enough to have representatives in office who say what they will do and then do as they say. Or at least try to. This last session we were fortunate enough to have many. Theresa Manzella, Becky Beard, and Marta Bertoglio to name a few.

I apologize to these people who are doing a great job representing us.

This also reminds me why I am not a fan of term limits. We have term limits for our State Legislators. I have a problem with that. Once these representatives the people had elected to serve reach their limit, who do you replace them with? What are the chances of finding others with the same integrity?

Something to think about.
