ELECTION RESULTS
FAREMOUNT. It's probably good I didn't count those chickens before they hatched, eh? A disappointing but close loss for Mike Snatch and Mrs. Douche as they lost by a lousy 1% to Guv-nuh Slim Plenty. Hum, another four years of he. But on the lighter side, Amy Kowbutcher boots out Kenady, and the dems have the house.
Locally, Faremount has a new mayor, Mr. (just)Randy Queering. He replaces Chucks Growth who retires this year. The city council members who were incumbents kept their seats, which means there will be no growth here. And yes, Sheriff Vlad Gephardt beats me by a landslide for the Sheriff race, I did manage to reel in a total of 101 "write-in" votes, so yay me. One of the things that really ticked me off about the local race is that no one stopped in our neighborhood to rally support. Just because my neighborhood is called the DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone), they don't come knocking. So if you were on house arrest in our neighborhood, (which is common place around these parts), you'd never know there was an election as there weren't a sign to be seen in any yards.
Something that really gets me, we get questions like: "Do you think we should use car sales tax for transportation needs?" and Seattle gets questions like: "Do you think lap dancing at Gentleman's clubs should be legal?" I mean, whats up with that? If the citizens of Seattle would have voted "no", than you'd be sitting 5 feet away from a stripper to be legal.
