To the Editor: Former Daily Globe publisher Joe Karius submitted what can only be described as a petty letter to the editor, criticizing state Sen. Robert Jauch, D-Poplar, for submitting a photo of himself with the Dalai Lama in Madison, Wis. The thrust of Karius’ letter is that Jauch is not a hard worker if he can find time in his day for a photo opportunity with the Dalai Lama.
