Letter: Getting down to business

Several people have asked me why am I supporting Tom Gallagher for governor. I thought your readers might be interested in my common-sense reply.

While both Republicans are good men, one candidate is a lawyer, and Tom Gallagher is a businessman. I remember well my deceased husband, Paul O’Neill, who served his country diligently, always said that there are too many lawyers in government. He said that they are trained to have glib tongues and take any issue they are for and argue accordingly, while government is “big business,” and businessmen are trained how to meet a payroll and balance budgets, etc.

Too many elected officials from Congress and the Senate on down are lawyers. Therefore, whenever I have the opportunity to vote for a businessman versus a lawyer in government, I go for it.

I hope this bit of information may be helpful to those who are not committed. Please support Tom Gallagher, the businessman, for governor.

God bless America.

Alyse O’Neill/President, Eagle Forum, Naples Chapter
