On the subject of N&R letters to the editor, interesting that we learn from a letter writer about Sen. Kay Hagan’s nay vote on an amendment to provide estate tax relief.
If there was a story, I missed it. The N&R’s Doug Clark reacts to Elaine Mejia’s letter, which tells me he’s a little out of the loop, too. I agree with Clark when he says he’s not warm to the idea of heavily taxing wealth that already was taxed when it was earned” and he doesn’t “have anything against even the very rich leaving their fortune to whomever they choose.”
But I can’t help but notice that while Clark speaks out against the estate tax, he lays off Hagan. I’m not saying he should personally attack her, but maybe acknowledge that this is further proof that Hagan is not a moderate.
Guarino wrote last week that “Clark at least is beginning to catch on to what’s she’s doing.” I’m not so sure.
