Let me add my two cents to Mr. Tom Lohman’s letter of a couple of days ago. I heartily endorse his statement that Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer have exceedingly selective memories about our state’s financial woes.
Unfortunately, Kevin Meyer was the senator for my district for several years. I communicated with him by email many times about the impending financial crisis and implored him and his colleagues to address it then and not “kick the can down the road.” Did they? No.
Dunleavy and Meyer are two of the authors of the financial crisis we face now. They could, along with their Republican colleagues, have dealt with it long ago. They refused. It wasn’t that they were unable, they refused to deal with it. Heaven forbid they actually vote to tax their oil company masters.
Regardless, they now cry and whine that we have no money. They have to look no further than their mirrors to figure out why that is.
