Benton statement misleading in saving millions of dollars

Posted

Editor,

It appears Sen. Don Benton, R-Vancouver, has lead The Reflector “Down the primrose path” during his recent interview. 

The prevarication is ridiculous beyond belief. Based on Benton’s record in Olympia and Clark County, this should never have been printed without independent verification. His claim, “I’ve saved the county millions and millions of dollars since I took over the department” is beyond belief. Were this anywhere close to the truth, any experienced politician would have been bragging loudly, Benton has been silent.

I challenge Benton to bring forth verifiable facts to prove his claim.
