Moderated debate on issues would be nice

| November 21, 2010 6:00 AM

I want to thank the Bee for all the letters during this,”crazy season” of political sparring between candidates. You surprised me in printing my letter about public employees unions and endorsements. Also, thanks to Mr. Hilton of Sagle, for his counter position and good narrative; it promotes hard examination of tough issues.

My point in my letter may have been missed, a little, however I have a positive proposal. Let’s have a forum and hear from those folks who pay the salaries of those public employees, they certainly have a right to be heard.

In addition I am willing to have a moderated debate. It’s an important issue; I’m quite serious. Nepotism, feather bedding, conflict of interest are so prevalent in government today, no wonder people are skeptical. Because something can be done,  is it ethical to do it?
