Special session perhaps not so special

A whole lot of rhetoric and many inches of newspaper print and looks like a repeat. Once the winners and losers declare themselves the general public needs to weigh in on the results. University tuition going up. Local government still in a jam but will cut services. Call it by any name but large cities receiving a cut in funding. School districts become the state banking service. Somehow all this does not seem like sound fiscal planning.

Regardless of your political feelings. Regardless of who you think is making sense in this past session and a tenth - contact your elected officials and voice your opinion. That could be support or opposition. I believe the elected official need to be reminded that there are many people in the state who care about what is happening. They don't seem to be listening to the general public. They listen to the dollars from the 1 % and they listen to political leaders from all parts of the country. But do they listen to you? Email, write, call your elected officials.
