I thoroughly enjoyed Walter Backstrom’s piece in the Bellevue Reporter entitled: The gravy train has ended.

Thank you, Mr. Backstrom for your message on what matters most and the character traits, albeit, conservative that need to be practiced, promoted, professed, encouraged, exemplified, repeated, etc. You are right on the mark!

Wash away the excuses of race and look honestly at the issues at stake. I appreciated your truth!
