John Mark Windle response

[ttocswob]

I emailed my representative, senator, and the good governor before the override. Later received the governors canned letter, and a brief e-mail from Sen. Yager, but no e-mail from Rep Windle...

Until today - in the US Mail (!) was a card with this handwritten note (retyping for clarity):

(date)

Thanks for your note with respect to Governor Bredesen's recent actions.

You are right.

His veto was overturned by the House this afternoon. Please stay in touch.

(signed)

A few years ago, he also called me in response to my e-mail on the income tax issue, and talked 15-20 minutes about the subject.

Regardless of party, wish we had a few more like him in public office. Just wanted to give credit where credit is due.
