Rodriguez an inspiring legislator

Re the April 9 article, Proposal would let miners off hook for water fees: Sometimes I think, Why vote? Lobbyists control legislators’ opinions, which do not reflect the people’s choice.

Then along comes state Rep. José Javier Rodriguez, who has not been contaminated by the lobby for rock mining. Because of him I’m inspired to continue to vote and hope.
