LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mr. Burnett, I know I’ve told you before how much I enjoy your Forum articles and I have continued to with each issue.
I agreed so much with the latest article on Jindal that I could have stood up and cheered.
I’m proud to say that I never did vote for him in the first place.
I could tell then that he wasn’t on the level but talking a lot and saying nothing. I am so ready for him to be out of here I can’t stand it.
Many Facebook friends and relatives from out of state have asked me about him in relation to the presidential race and I have gladly let them know the facts.
Like you, I hope we have a vast improvement with the next governor but then anything would be I believe by now.
–Ken Shively
Mr. Burnett, Great piece of writing. Really enjoyed this one!! Keep em’ coming.
