4. I'm in telecom
Tue May 30, 2017, 11:47 AM
May 2017

When the Telecom bubble burst in the early 2000's - I moved here for work.

There's a reason why Lance keeps getting elected - look at how much 'massaging' he does of big pharma.

But the good news is - Clinton won Lance's district - so we have a shot in 2018.

I agree - the new 'populism' falls flat - and it does not address the diversity of our state - and those issues that are brought about by our diversity.

Cory reflects us - and like you - I'm proud to have cast my vote twice. If they dont' want him on the national stage . . . that's fine. But I'm against anyone who is against our largest industries. I refuse to vote for that person.
