Yes, the school referendum especially is very exciting. Something like 89%
of those voting for that referendum don't have kids: speaks very well of
the Minneapolis Citizenry.
Regarding the libraries, I'm very happy for them as well and hope we can
make sure enough fiscal intelligence can be brought to bear on the
situation to ensure the financial well being of the city is not harmed as a
result.
Helps quite a bit standing up to the possible Bush win. Should be known
within the hour - I really can't believe it. Hard to imagine what the next
four years with Bush at the helm could entail.
I wish there were more coverage in these exhausting hours of our local
races, our state is doing so well it would be great to hear more about our
successes locally! I'm so proud of our turnout and everything.
And atleast now I know my district number.
