Herrera wastes $31,000 on a campaign piece disguised as a questionnaire about the obvious.

Jaime Herrera burned through $31,000 of OUR money to put out a mailer designed to accomplish one thing, and one thing ONLY: To make people think she actually gives a damn.

Herrera is well-acquainted with methods of wasting our money; she managed to blow through almost $500 for food over a 3 day boondoggle trip while she was Cathy McMorris's gofer.

And now, she can fry 10's of thousands of our dollars on an utterly meaningless mailer, when she could have, for example, done a phone poll... if she didn't, of course, already know.

In fact, this mailer isn't even a thinly disguised campaign piece.

First, her lie that a "new Interstate 5 Bridge is necessary."

It isn't.  It's a massive waste of time that will enslave future generations to her downtown Vancouver controlled vision of how we should live.

Handout

Herrera Beutler said in her mailer that a new Interstate 5 bridge is necessary, but “the question is what kind of bridge do we need to replace it?”

The problem, of course, is that when you start out with a lie, everything that follows is typically untrue as well.

That those wasting their time responding to this campaign piece have to pay their own postage tends to speak for itself... and what it says is that she doesn't want to hear it.

It's bad enough that she's incompetent.  But this kind of wasteful crap isn't what she was sent to DC for.
