Steve, glad you are still reading the letters. I guess I need to be more clear on what I mean. My hope was that Democrats and Republicans could work together, but name calling is not a good way to start. You are right in that Speaker Johnson must get some support from Dems. Will that happen? I doubt it. Maybe Sinema and Manchin seem to be the only Democrats who are willing to stand against the Party. That leaves it to the MSN to blame the Republicans. As for my comment concerning LBGTQ I think “live and let live”, sums it up pretty well. Just don’t push your beliefs on me and visa versa. As far as the elderly, I’m one of them. and as for the bicycle challenge, does Joe get to use training wheels? Strangely enough I agree with you and probably the majority of the residents of Maple Lake. Maple Lake is just the tip of the iceberg. Government just can’t seem to spend enough money. So when they need more they just take it from the people. It’s time to take the check book back from them. We have the power.
