Close election. Of course Annie Caiola and Bernadette Seals won too as candidates with no opposition. It’s now official, although it was obviously coming, that we have a newly composed School Board, with two brand new members, one newer member, and two longer standing members.

People have been remarking that important and tough financial issues were brought up in this campaign. I wish all the members wisdom and luck in dealing with them.

It’s worth questioning…..Every vote counts! I think I’ll change my name to pot stirrer just for fun. Good luck everyone! :)

I tried to add: “Now it’s time to walk the dogs” but the edit function was really discombobulating my mind, you know what I mean???
And of course the whole double interrupting thing. What was I thinking!!!!

I do and it looked good this AM when I arrived at the Church at Decatur Heights (formally known as Decatur Heights Baptist Church but that’s another story) at 6:45. There were only a few vehicles in the lot so I began to think, maybe this time! I walked down the hall and saw no one in line. I was feeling pretty good until I entered the polling room to see two guys in front of me. Sigh!
But the big story is The Vote! It was a tough decision. Two smart dudes. Very impressive supporters. Unfortunately no crazy sign waving fans that early in the morning to push me one way or the other. So I decided at the last moment. The card was pushed in and the screen went to the Big Decision. One final agonizing moment – “WHO WILL NOT CRUCIFY ME ON A CROSS OF HIGHER TAXATION????” So I finally pushed the button for…

The lady at the Board of Elections called me back to ask me to steer her toward the City’s district map so she can investigate the conflicting information. I’m pleasantly surprised by their helpfulness, I must admit.
