Sen. Sheldon needs to go

The state Legislature is proving again that it can’t get its work done cooperatively. Tim Sheldon is a major road block. The disarray in state Senate can be laid as his feet. By crossing party lines he has helped create an obstructionist atmosphere in the Senate where nothing gets done. That is not what we are paying legislators to do.

This current overtime session of the Legislature is costing state taxpayers a lot of money. Looking for waste in government spending? Look at Tim. Tim is ineffectual. He doesn’t help the legislative process move along to solutions. We need a state senator from the 35th Legislative district that can get the people’s work done without going into overtime. Tim needs to go.
