Politicians aren't fooling anyone

To the editor:

I wonder how stupid state Rep. Jason Crowell and House Speaker Rod Jetton think we are. Only one-third of the public votes, and that is because we are sick of people like those two trying to make this consulting deal look OK.

I don't know Crowell, but I do know Jetton and his wife, and the consulting arrangement is the biggest joke there is here in Bollinger County. As usual, politicians can do anything and get away with it.

It would be good to see politicians serve their country because they are proud of it. But what they are there for is to see how much they can put in their bank account. They don't care how they get it.

If Jetton is a consultant, then I am taking the next rocket to outer space. I would like for Crowell and Jetton to know they are fooling no one.
