Kathy Kershner voted against funding for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault services last year. And Riley Sweeny has been calling her out on this at his Political Junkie blog. Here is the link over to his site.

Kathy Kershner Responds to Voting Against Women

For the past few weeks, Riley has been double posting the same article on his and this website. It was an experiment. We have ended that - and will link over to articles of his we think are worth telling you about. We, of course, have a permanent link to his site located in the column to the right. And Riley remains a NWCitizen writer and may post more articles here in the future.

I like Riley and his writing. And over the past year I've given him what encouragement, support and links I can. The main reason is that he is young, very involved in local politics, and is not afraid to write what he thinks. I'm old, now less involved in local politics, and often feel like a very lone voice speaking out. Riley is the future.
