Dear Editor:
I can't believe all the praising the News Tribune and the state reps are giving Gov. Greitens for the executive order for state employees being provided paid parental leave.
State Rep. Mike Bernskoetter seemed to be the only one concerned.
The governor talked about trimming the fat previously, then wants to give out this benefit.
I am strongly against the executive order; that's what sick leave and vacation time is for.
Parents need to take responsibility for having kids, not the taxpayers.
