Littlejohn gets by on $68K/year pension

As a retired firefighter, Littlejohn, 53, lives on a $68,000-a-year pension from the state of California. He favors cutting taxes and regulations. “I don’t vaccinate my kids at all,” he said. Outbreaks of whooping cough in North Idaho in recent years are “not really a concern,” he said. “I know it’s kind of hard to hear that – the government’s not there to tell me how to live my life.” More here.

DFO: I didn't think there would be a clear-cut choice in this race. But incumbent Eric Redman is definitely the lesser of two bad choices. Thoughts?
