Letters to the editor

“Work the problem” is a line from the movie Apollo 13 that has stuck with me and comes back to mind as I watch elected officials at both the federal and state level appear to be blocking each other’s moves rather than moving us forward.
For the State of Ohio, the “problems” include school financing, economic development, responsible energy production and long term and community based care for all ages, to name a few.
Dr. John Patterson, candidate for Ohio’s 99th House District, represents a sound investment in problem solving. He has the ability to work across the aisle, to build consensus in the midst of divisiveness and keep our focus where it needs to be. Give him serious consideration in November and let’s pull together to achieve that which is within our grasp.
