Early this afternoon about 1:00 p.m., as I was in route to the hardware store to get a paint roll brush. I called to see if my State Representative had been released from Legislative jail. He was on the house floor and at that time estimated they would adjourn around 6:00 p.m. I came back home and proceeded to paint. It is a GREAT feeling, to know that I can go about my routine chores without having to worry about the legislature. But, we should check on them from time to time and show our appreciation to them for all that they endure for our greater good.

I am thankful that I have a State Representative that I am proud is doing the work that our district needs. My previous State Representative H.E. Bittle was as dedicated to our district as my current State Representative Park. M. “Parkey” Strader is.
