I agree with John Teeter that Tom Trail is making use of an avenue for
reporting that technology only recently opened to us. I would welcome
similar reports from our other representatives. Tom is part of our local
community, the community served by Vision2020, and I think it is MOST
appropriate that he use the list as a means of ensuring his accountability
to those who elected him. There are no frills, fancy graphics, even super
sophisticated Web design involved in his reporting, just the straight
content, which is what we need to know to judge his performance. I do not
see this as electioneering at all.
