Rooney not right for Southwest Florida

By Staff | Jan 17, 2018

To the editor:

My response is in reference to the opinion post “Much accomplished in 2017” by Francis Rooney, Representative to the House. Rooney has voted for the new tax and jobs bill which will eventually be instrumental in forcing millions of Americans off their health care. The tax bill will really only benefit the wealthy. The middle class may see some benefit for lower taxes, but they are set to expire while taxes for the wealthy are permanent.

Rooney voted against the ACA, again forcing American workers to lose their health insurance.

Rooney accused the FBI of being complacent when the FBI works faithfully to keep us safe.

He has pledged 100 percent of his support to Trump, which means he supports interference in our government by Russia.

Rooney voted against a bill for corporate government transparency.

Rooney has his own interests at heart, certainly not those of Florida. The National Farmers Union scored Rooney at 0 percent. This man is not for Floridians.
