Westrom's e-mail was the one that sparked the response from House Majority Whip Rob Wilkey, admitting mistakes and telling members that he doesn't plan to seek reelection.
Here's the e-mail from Westrom:

Dear "Leaders"

This email is a prime example of why the rank and file members of the
Democrat Caucus should have been provided an opportunity to ask
questions before we were summarily dismissed by our "leadership" during
the last caucus meeting on March 15th held at 6 pm. Instead, you
conducted the meeting just as you have during the entire session. You
shared only what you decided we should know, patted yourselves on the
back for your hard work, criticized the other end and walked out the
door. Obviously you felt there was a real reason to keep us all in the
dark about as many issues as possible this session and it is most likely
beyond your power of reasoning to comprehend that we are the ones held
responsible for your decisions at the local level.

I have no way to explain your actions and am hopeful you can provide
some explanation for me to forward to this very astute gentleman who
felt the same outrage many of the house members felt throughout the
session. It was as painful for the members to live through as it has
been for the taxpayers to read about or witness on television. My only
conclusion is that we deserve the leadership we elect, and you will
deserve the members that are able to hang on after this shameful
session. Aren't you fortunate that there are only sixteen of us with
elections this fall who will bear the brunt of the publics' outrage?

Let me recommend that you review the video of the last two hours of the
2008 legislative session so you will see what the remaining 95 members
witnessed along with the public who could stomach the drama. Like me,
they are asking, what is leadership, how do you spell it, how do you
define it and who actually knows what it is in Frankfort? It is
apparent that someone has forgotten many things but their ego.

Larry Dusak, a state employee and is my next door neighbor whom I
respect a great deal, and quite frankly, if I were him, I would not vote
for me either. You seem to have forgotten that there are five members in
the House that are identified as the "legislature" and every ill
conceived move you make reflects directly on all of us. As one of the 95
unimportant members who work overtime to make up for the lack of
adequate staff, who devise every scheme imaginable to get their
legislation passed without the aid of leadership, feel as skinned alive
as this unfortunate constituent who expects more of me and YOU.

I would now like to hold you accountable for a response to this inquiry,
without the aid of your staff. I am one of the few who can make this
request because quite frankly, you cannot take away a chairmanship from
me, I do not require an office with windows and am one of the few who
has nothing to risk by stating my opinion with a request for answers. As
a legislator representing a Republican district, should I be replaced
this fall by Mike Farmer, I can assure you he be as ineffective as I
feel I have been this session. Perhaps that is what this is all about!
