Jennifer Flowers: Puzzling government

I read your paper every morning. Your coverage is all we have of the fragmented facts. Yet when I take my last sip of coffee getting ready to do the crossword puzzle (the most important item, by the way), I recall a more intelligent and embracing thought.

It comes from great literature: “It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom. It was the age of fools. It was the Spring of Hope. It was the death of despair.”

I believe this to be the “saga” of North Carolina government. Elected people ... so divided. So, how do I know who represents me? I think I understand the crossword puzzle much better.
