Letter To The Editor: Mariko Yamada For State Senate

Dear editor:

Dodd against seniors...Bill Dodd voted against Senate Bill 308

This bill would have increased the amount of money you can keep from the sale of your home as a result of a bankruptcy and it would have increased it even more for seniors.

It would also have removed a requirement that you must reinvest the money in a certain amount of time or lose it.

It’s not easy to reinvest money when you need to start over with it.

This bill would have greatly helped seniors avoid living their golden years in abject poverty.

But Bill Dodd did not help the seniors.

He helped the banks because that’s where the money is.

Bill Dodd put the interest of the banks before that of our beloved seniors.

His opponent, Mariko Yamada, has made senior’s issues her life’s work.

She will not side with bankers over our grandparents like Bill Dodd did.

On Tuesday, June 7, or earlier by mail, please vote for Mariko Yamada for state Senate.

Stephen Hallett
