Letter: Rep. Lyman should finance his own restitution

State Rep. Phil Lyman is complaining about his payments toward $97,000 of court-ordered restitution being increased from $100 per month to $500 per month. At $100 per month he would never have paid it off in his lifetime.

Adjusting payment based on what he claims his income is would be socialist and unfair to taxpayers.

He should arrange financing to cover it himself. At the current rate for student loans of 5.05 percent, financed over 10 years, payments would be around $1,000 per month.
