- Description:
- The document discusses the issue of increased funding for the Legal Services Corporation (LSC). The author expresses reservations about the LSC due to its controversial activities, such as using taxpayer funds for certain agendas. The author believes that private resources are available to provide legal aid to the poor and voted against increasing funding for the LSC. The author highlights the amount of pro bono work done by lawyers and believes that this tradition would continue without federal funding for legal services. The author thanks the reader for contacting their office and expresses willingness to discuss other issues.
