Pete Rios: Response to Bridwell letter

Dear Editor,

I see Mr. Bill Bridwell still can’t get anything right. Meetings that I have attended over the years in the many communities that I represent don’t have to be called “town hall meetings.” They are sometimes called school meetings with parents, teachers and students. Sometimes they are City Council meetings with council members and constituents. Sometimes they are meetings with mental health centers with staff and community people. Sometimes they are group meetings with groups of citizens experiencing a particular problem. Again they don’t have to called “town hall meetings.”

If Mr. Bridwell so desperately wants to elect Republicans to LD 23 (see related letter) he should get off his “duff” and quit writing specious letters and start exercising by going door-to-door campaigning for Republican candidates, like we campaign for our offices. It will also help him get in better physical shape, and I am not insinuating that he is 100 pounds overweight. I think it’s more like 200.
