M. Scott Carter, The Journal Record, on Oklahoma state Rep. Joe Dorman:

This week, Dorman – frustrated because he watched yet another tornado destroy lives – again called for action. He asked the Legislature’s Republican leadership to consider a $500 million statewide bond issue to fund construction of safe rooms in public schools. A handful of people applauded, but others complained that Dorman has exploited the tragic deaths of several children for his own gain.

Dorman’s critics are wrong.
