Need more info about spending


November 16, 2012 · Updated 2:33 PM 

Just read your piece about Sherry Appleton winning in her race for representative of the 23rd District, Position 1.

Why the paragraphs about the loser, Tony Stephens? His campaign platform really does not matter at this point, or are you attempting to discredit his platform?

Without those few paragraphs, you would have had space to question Ms. Appleton about her plans for keeping the bureaucracy in check as it relates to spending. A follow-up question could have been about her qualifications to do this.

Seems we have a problem paying for the giveaways; maybe if we start at the source, we could get the spending under control.
