Mississippi lawmaker to voter: 'I could care less'

http://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/politics/2016/03/18/lawmaker-constituent-could-care-less/81962014/

Stay classy, Oliver...

When Becky Guidry of Gulfport emailed freshman Rep. Karl Oliver, R-Winona, expressing her concerns about the tax breaks being considered by the Legislature, she was shocked by his response.

Mrs. Guidry,

I normally don't return emails that do not request a response, but I found yours so intriguing I simply felt led to respond.

I see you are not a native to the Great State of Mississippi nor do you and I have similar political views. The people of our Great State overwhelmingly share my same or similar views on Government responsibility. I appreciate you going to the trouble to share yours with me, but quite frankly, and with all due respect, I could care less. I would, however, recommend that there are a rather large number of like minded citizens in Illinois that would love to see you return.

With warmest personal regards,

Karl Oliver

The schools are underfunded, and the electorate doesn't vote in midterm elections. Next month, the Governor has proclaimed Confederate History month. The lead in the water is high in its Capitol city, and the infrastructure is embarrassing.

All this with a population that is 40% DEM.

One shouldn't wonder why Repuke legislators are a bit smug.
