We don't need Musgrave

We don't need Musgrave

Tom Bender, in his Jan. 14 letter, sees Rep. Marilyn Musgrave as the "champion" of "working, lower-income, seasoned citizens" like himself. His "champion" has voted:

A. Against raising the minimum wage for working, lower-income citizens;


B. Against expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Plan to include more families of working, lower-income citizens;

C. Against allowing the government to negotiate with drug companies for lower drug prices for lower-income seasoned citizens on Medicare;

D. For taking billions of dollars of child support away from working, lower-income citizens.

Our working, lower-income citizens, seasoned or not, don't need anymore champions such as Musgrave.
