I voted for everything that will result in more spending. I almost always vote in favor of ballot issues intended to raise money. Why? Two reasons: (a) our local government spends money as if real estate was taxed at $1.25 per thousand while only taxing somewhere around $1 per thousand, so we need the money; and (b) because so many people like Bot almost always vote no on those issues. Bot and I cancel each other out and leave the contest for those who really have their heart in it. Our ballot had 16 items on the ballot on whether the County should contract debt for a total of $234,000,000 (approximately $800 per citizen). I voted for every one.
