If you were privy to receive pre-election emails with black-ball criticisms and fake facts from newly re-elected Congressman Pete Stauber, he obviously had his hands full. We’re not talking about ethical, rightful, fair-minded and environmentally succinct responsibilities. On the contrary, we’re talking about BS, when handfuls matter. What to do. Accept his biased, messed-up offerings dressed up to continue as facts for another term? Now that he was re-elected, maybe we should all be praying for forgiveness ... for him and all District 8 voters who fell for his ploys. In the game of pool, being behind the eight ball can be intimidating. Yet, timely, well-maneuvered shots can ultimately be game changers. We’re talking about keeping our game on, however long it takes.
