Identifier: P-1473-72485
Summary: The Washington union bosses say that Tom Coburn, a local physician, and Glenn Johnson, a career politician, are different from each other. Coburn supports term limits and has pledged to serve only six years, while Johnson opposes term limits and has been in office for 14 years. Coburn has refused perks like the congressional pension, while Johnson has kept his pension while failing to fund the teacher retirement system. The difference, the union bosses say, is trust, and that's why they support Coburn.
