For those with short memories, Miller has been more than willing to let the American middle class pay taxes while he gives tax breaks to his rich friends, and then cheats his way out of the taxes he's supposed to pay. OK for us to pay, I guess, but not for him: he's above it all. Then, while we are approaching $4.00/gallon gasoline, he still refuses to support recission of a $14 billion tax break for oil companies. Better to let them keep it, he seems to think, than to give it back to Americans trying desparately to fill their gas tanks and still make their house payment in the same month. Maybe if someone had run against this Republican slimeball in '06, we wouldn't be having this conversation now- but no one did. Now there's Ed Chau and Ron Sheptson. To be honest, I'm sure either will do the job, and do it well. Hell, if all they did was sit at their desk and make paper gliders, it would do less damage than Miller has done in his 10 years of thugary and corruption. And Ron, being an engineer, would probably make a truly awesome paper glider! Ed, the attorney, would probably have enough paper to make an entire squadron! But I have one question: where has Ed been in asking the questions Ron has posed? Ron's been asking these questions for at least a year now? And he's still demanding the answers. Where is Ed Chau's voice? Well, it appears Ron has continued doing his homework, much to the benefit of Democrats and Independents in the 42nd.
