Letter: You elected Bob Parks

Parks, Parks, Parks! Good grief, people. You elected Bob Parks to the Kennewick City Council, just like you elected an unqualified president for the last two terms (Experience? Constitutional respect? Where does one stop?) .

Like Trump, Mr. Parks has a certain following, of which I am not one. Illegal immigrants in our Hispanic community certainly supply many good contributions to our society along with the bad, just as non-Latinos do.

And now we have Mr. Trump. I fear too many like Mr. Parks’ supporters are willing to vote for Trump. And we will all (along with other nations) bemoan his arrogance and buffoonery.

Being a Republican, I couldn’t stomach Clinton even if I were a Democrat. I would possibly vote for Sanders if he were to find a way to beat Clinton.
