What we do now affects future for allof us

By Letter to the Editor on February 27, 2020.

Re: The recent letter to the editor comment, “The MLA for Lethbridge-East, Nathan Neudorf, is perfectly capable of taking citizens’ concerns to the government caucus, as he is a totally competent member of that body.”

When I read this, I thought “LOL.” I am not a mean person, nor do I try to hurt people or their feelings but, if he is totally a competent member who stands for the people, what people is that? If he cared about what was happening, he would be looking at these letters and replies with dismay.

Does he care about the seniors in Lethbridge who have worked since they were as young as nine to earn the opportunity to have senior rights? Has he looked at the people with disabilities who do more volunteering than others can because they cannot get jobs? In this way, they help the paid people be able to do their jobs on little pay. Has he looked at how children could not finish school in the near past and how now they need help? This is the future of our children as education is being taken away from them.

If he thinks that balancing the budget now by hurting these groups is going to help the future, he needs to look to the past and see what happened then. What we do now affects all of our futures including his family. Is it worth it to him?
