I do not believe Morgan is for the people. I live in his district and corresponded with him on a matter. I requested a written reply. No answer. I sent another letter. No reply. It became evident he would not reply. I wrote to Mr. Russell and requested he be my contact on the Board of County Commissioners and provided him with my questions. He had no problem with that and answered my questions. We have so many politicians in this state that believe they answer to a political party, themselves or someone else other then the people they represent. I feel Morgan is one of those type of politicians. We need people in office that understand they answer to the wishes of the people, they have a responsibility to the people. I do not believe Morgan is one of these people.
