To the editor:

Pardon me, Rep. Boyda, but don’t you represent all of your constituents? Since when does a representative of the people leave a hearing because she has a frustration with what she hears? Whether you agree or disagree shouldn’t be the focus of a report delivered by a person who is considered an expert on the situation.

The loved ones of the men and women fighting in Iraq along with others might like to hear the full report from you when asked, not how you left the room out of frustration and only heard part of what was reported. That sounds like someone who had a little snit! Not worthy of your office and not respectful toward a retired Army general, let alone your constituents, or were you only trying to please those who protested at the library the other day?

Betty Simecka,
