It's one local issue that unfortunately involved a death. <br /><br />Where is your concern for those who die every day from lack of health insurance, including the 2,266 veterans under the age of 65 who died last year as a result of not having health insurance? That's six preventable deaths a day. And we can thank republican obstructionism for delaying any reasonable solutions, because, heaven forbid that it should raise <i>your</i> taxes any (which it won't).Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-4707446836140771622009-11-12T08:49:25.819-06:002009-11-12T08:49:25.819-06:00The silence on this "non-partisan" blog ...The silence on this "non-partisan" blog about Dr. Keller said it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-34785125090617219912009-11-11T21:38:18.723-06:002009-11-11T21:38:18.723-06:00BB - fair enough.

How can they believe that her focus is on representing them fairly when she's also conducting political business at the same time, with the same phone number? Couldn't she at least get a separate line?!<br /><br />I am familiar with the workings of several of our local state legislators' offices. Most do not use their legislative offices for political purposes, even if they do pay the expenses themselves, and I have not heard of any who use their regular legislative phone number for said business. Shame on Joanne Osmond! This is a breach of common sense if not ethics.Bystandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-19439824046037439572009-11-11T13:12:53.217-06:002009-11-11T13:12:53.217-06:00My answer is, read the News-Sun article.
