Linda Meinelt: Letter to Representative Wachtmann

From Linda Meinelt, January 6, 2010
Subject: Article in Columbus Dispatch (Sunday, 1/03/10)

Rep. Wachtmann,

After reading your comments in Sunday's paper, I would say it is safe to assume that you do not have a bumper sticker on your car that says, "If you can read this, thank a teacher."

I also noticed that on the Ohio House of Representatives website page, you have nothing listed under the EDUCATION category. Obviously, you do not consider education a priority.

I know the teachers, past and present, in your congressional district will remember your name when election time rolls around. Since they are able to read, I feel confident they will not push the button next to your name for re-election. I would assume that since you are so "down" on public pensions that you will forego your public pension and live off the income from the Maumee Valley Bottling and Culligan Water Conditioning.
