In the “From Our Web Site” column In the Jan. 5 Commercial Dispatch, there is a “Supervisor angles for money for rural parks – 1/2/2010” article from “Walter.” Walter touts all the many strengths of Mr. Brooks and how he “single-handedly” battles against all others for his constituents; etc, etc, etc, etc, and oh well, let”s do another etc.
Mr. Brooks is that good! If I didn”t know any better, I would almost be willing to bet that the article was written by Mr. Brooks. One thing I do agree with, is that even I would vote to send Mr. Brooks to Washington. There, he can make a spectacle of himself on a much higher level. With some of the folks that we have in Washington now; Mr. Brooks might even be an improvement.
