Fly-Fishing In The Wrong Voter Pool: 5th District Congressman Matt Salmon

Just retrieved an email from our elected official in the U.S. House of Representatives - he had "a very disappointing final week" while most of us celebrated. [see post on this site about LIHTC financing]
Is he out of sync on issues that impact his constituency?
When a state like Arizona and the local economy here in Mesa get a big boost from federal spending on things like public transit, affordable housing, housing for homeless veterans, public safety, homeland security and defense industries, and airport improvements, he says in this recent email, . . . "When I came back to Washington, I pledged to fight for a more limited form of government and shrink our spending. . . " 

HE VOTED AGAINST PASSING THE SPENDING BILL! for his own narrow and partisan reasons.
To be balanced and fair, read his own release by going to this link

Here readers can see how the big bronze brown bears on the sidewalk at the NWC of Main and Macdonald Streets enjoy catching a salmon
