Reasons to Vote

Remember, The Dave/Tom/Dave race isn't the only issue worth heading to the polls for today. Here are two other issues that should attract you to the polls:
  • Amendment 1, to raise the pay of state Senators to $21,000 per year. In my opinion it would be worth our money to pay even more than this, but $21K is a start over the laughable $12,000 we pay right now. If we want somebody other than rich folks running for Senator, we need to pay them something they can live on. I'm voting for.
  • Parks bond, to pay $2.7 million to buy 130 acres of land along the South Beltway for eventual development into a linear park. I don't buy into all of the hyperbole being used to push this issue (the radio commercials are awful), but I do value green space, and Lincoln's success with trails through linear parks (Highway 2, Antelope Park, Capital Parkway) should be replicated. I'm voting for.
If you're too antsy to wait until tomorrow morning to see the results, the Lancaster County Election Commissioner's website has what you're looking for.
