Cancel the Plan. They Have Spytech.
Election day is coming up and it can't come soon enough for me. I am unable to watch anything on network television because I refuse to watch political ads - especially the ads for people who are not in my district. I talking to you Patty Wetterling.I've been spending my time watching other channels. I'm an especially big fan of the 80s channel which I don't so much watch as listen to. The other night I was cooking and doing the Electric Slide in my kitchen (It's electric!).
In addition to not wanting to vote for any candidate whose ads I see, the amount of signage in the yards is horrible. Ms. Ortman, you lost my vote when you voted against the stadium, your signs irritate me to the point where I want to campaign for your competition. Except that I read her campaign brochure and I can't bring myself to vote for that either.
No, I would be avoiding the polls this year if it wasn't for that fact that I got this nice little brochure from the school district wanting me to vote "YES" to a couple of levies. Two years ago they came to me and said that they needed to remodel the high school and build an elementary school. The people said yes. Now they want a whole new high school and want to increase spending per student by $238. The annual effect on my tax bill? $250. Absolutely not. No, no, no. That's an almost 20% increase in my property taxes coming on the heels of an already significant tax hike for the schools a couple years ago. This doesn't take into account the increase in taxes for other municipal purposes. Go away. We don't need schools.
