Letter: Next time, dig a little deeper on candidates
I am astounded that neither the Benton County Republican Party nor the Tri-City Herald investigated the backgrounds of candidates for local offices. It is not hard to do. Even this retired teacher has done background checks on her home computer using that amazing tool, Google.
In the TCH’s defense, I know shrinking budgets have caused staff cuts, so maybe no one there has time to do background checking. I hereby volunteer to do it for you, if you’ll give me my newspaper subscription gratis. As for the Benton County Republican Party — they’re on their own.
