To the Editor:
I do not share Mr. McLeod’s optimism that the the legislature “…will do what is needed for our region ….” (Volume 26, Issue 28).
Those in power have a primary goal of enhancing and perpetuating that power. Constituents’ needs are far down the list, except when those needs align with theirs.
While I applaud Reps. Gillespie, Clampitt and Pless for standing up for WNC, I have my doubts that they would have stood up for us if they represented another region of the state.
