Special session doesn’t serve the state’s good

To the editor:

Where, in the “accelerating demise of homo sapiens’ thawing-tundra” (God’s name or on his green Earth), does Gov. Parnell’s public-serving purpose truly lie? How is it that he can, after the public has sequestered a 90-day session, rebuke our will and recall legislators at nearly a quarter-million dollars a day, with the simple, specific priority to diminish further a legislated levy on the profiting-benefactors of our state’s resources?

By demanding lawmakers agree to quicken the rate of our specie’s suicide and exploitation of our state’s economy, he’s clearly not serving the state’s good.

Has this “citizens united” Supreme Court now granted property and voting rights (or citizenship) to the imagined abstraction of profit? Did the governor not tell the rest of the state this is the idea he’s fighting to protect? It’s certainly not our Constitution’s purpose.
