    Makes you wonder who really benefits from having empty husks of people in Congress.

    Maybe our representatives shouldn’t be retiree age. We need some people young enough to have to live with their consequences.

    This is a story that is as much about elderly Congress members as it is about the precipitous decline in local journalism. We’ve lost visibility to a lot of what’s going on in our communities as well as in Washington. I’m not sure how we recover from this.

    Term limits and/or age limits need to be imposed. I’ve thought for a while now that you should not be allowed to hold office once you hit the countries retirement age.

    Tired of seeing 70+ year olds running chit.
