Senate candidates should not promise heaven on earth

Editor, Senate candidates are currently traversing the country canvassing for votes.  The candidates try to explain themselves out of the situation without much success. Citizens often out of ignorance of the role of lawmakers, expect too much from them. They expect them to extend electricity, water to their areas, fix roads, and build schools, lower food prices to mention but a few.
