Beth Silberman: Nonpartisan probe refreshing

Regarding the Dec. 13 news article “Burr, GOP to probe possible election meddling by Russia”: While this is of vital importance to our democracy, there are additionally many issues that are too important to become partisan such as education, civil rights and the environment. It’s refreshing to see the members of the Senate put country before party. Let us hope this is just the beginning as we see a parade of inexperienced ideologues nominated for cabinet posts.
