Readers React: Corporations and PACs, where’s your voter ID?

To the editor: Can any election be considered “local” anymore? Alarm bells are ringing loudly, warning of the increasingly negative influence of outside money in our electoral process.

To the editor: With the millions spent on campaigns (in a midterm election, no less), I can’t help but wonder about the greater good that would be served if that money had been spent fighting Ebola, feeding the hungry, finding a cure for cancer or on any number of other worthy causes.
