Luke Radel covers local and national politics “And that the elected might never form an interest separate from the electors, prudence will point out the propriety of having elections often because, as the elected might by that means return and mix again with the general body of the electors in a few months, their fidelity to the public will be secured by the prudent reflection of not making a rod for themselves. And as this frequent interchange will establish a common interest with every part of the community, they will mutually and naturally support each other. And on this, not on the unmeaning name of ‘king,’ depends the strength of government and the happiness of the governed.” - Thomas Paine in “Common Sense” (1776) Follow Luke on Twitter: @lukeradel https://twitter.com/lukeradel Email us at watchelected@gmail.com
