The Times' Feb. 10 editorial, "House Republicans side with Wall Street against the little guy," sadly resorts to worn out rhetoric and attacks about motive rather than engaging in an honest debate about ideas.

Here in Lenawee County, we held these public forums in places like the Lenawee ISD Tech Center, Family Kitchen in Adrian, Big Boy in Tecumseh, Karen's Uptown Kafe in Hudson and more locations.
