Letter: Wallner, Feltes deserve credit for budget

The Monitor’s Sept. 29 editorial failed to give credit to two of the legislators who were most involved and helpful in the negotiations with the governor: Rep. Mary Jane Wallner, who knows this budget backward and forward, and Sen. Dan Feltes. These legislators were key to the successful outcome of the compromises in the biennial budget. They also stood strong to uphold the majority’s values in this budget.

Frankly, it’s hard to understand how the Monitor editorial board, if they were watching the process, could have missed naming these key members of the Finance negotiating team. Please be sure to name them in a future discussion. We are very fortunate to have both of them representing the Concord area.

Rep. CHRISTY DOLAT BARTLETT
