Sun News | Viers confronts issues affecting District 68

I really want to know about issues that concern us as voters in District 68, such as illegal immigration, traffic problems and errant school board tax increases. I have not seen much in the way of representation from anyone else but Thad Viers. When a methadone clinic sneaked in our district under the radar, where were the two candidates who say they have represented us? Nowhere to be found. Thad is willing to fight a problem that plagues us statewide in illegal immigration. Is there silence from the other candidates because of being in the real estate market and benefiting from their inexpensive labor? Let’s hear issues, not personal attacks. And yes, the swing bridge 12 years later. Now that’s a real issue, but not one affecting us.
