[Vision2020] voting and the levy

[Tom Hansen]

Thank you for your posting, Dan.

I agree 100%.

The time it takes to compose, type, and post to Vision 2020, a person living
within a ten-minute walk of the fairgrounds could vote.

Seeya round town, Moscow.

Vizzz peeps (that's for  you, Scott Dredge)

Donovan says:
". . . the election never comes down to one vote."

Tell that to Wade Hampton, former South Latah Highway District
commissioner, who lost the last election 124-123 to Kelly Giese.

Then Donovan says:
 ". . .  If it was easier to vote, I would vote. But it is a hassle for
something that brings no fruit."

I'm not sure what's so hard about it.  I know where  you live,  you know
where I live, and it's a less than ten minute walk to the fairgrounds to
vote.  It's also less than ten minutes to the courthouse if you want to
vote absentee.  None too difficult.  If my wife's 80-something grandma
can get herself out of Good Sam's to go punch a couple holes in a card,
I'd think a young and vigorous Donovan Arnold can do the same.   

Excuses are like cowboy hats.  And those who don't exercise their
privilege vote have no right to bitch.
