Dear editor: The recent letter by Nicholas Pyle attacking our popular elected representative for defending local jobs is both offensive and inaccurate. Mr. Pyle runs a for-hire lobbying firm in Washington, DC, and he operates a Political Action Committee that doles out cash to congressional campaigns.
