Try a Democrat?

IT’S VOTING time again!
It’s time also for a change in who runs our county. For the past years the Republicans have done everything but listen to the county residents. they built a new courthouse, passed a new county sanitization law that we didn’t want, built a new jail (and collected taxes for an extra year), tried to combine city and county law enforcement again (it hasn’t worked the last three times), tried to sell the county fairgrounds, increased our taxes and gave us less services and bought part of the St. Mary’s building and the John Deere building, which increased our county debt.
Maybe it is time we voted for a Democrat; he might listen to us and might understand not spending money when you don’t need to. As for the electronic voting machines, I don’t trust them. So when you vote, write in your name, or someone else’s, in a blank spot. After the votes are counted, call up the election office and ask what your vote count was; if they can’t give you a number, the machines are no good, just like the election.
If you do not vote, do not gripe.
