voted no on the boat thing. seriously considered writing in bill snyds for pres. ended up just writing in ron paul for the hell of it.

So its 10PM and the Sedgwick County election commissioner, Tabatha Lehman, has not released any numbers at all, none, zero.  She is rightly catching hell on Twitter from liberals, conservatives, and all media.  She is not only holding us up, but she's holding up the entire state up with the boat tax results.

To reiterate the largest county in the state hasn't reported a single ballot two hours after the polls have closed.

I wrote in john currie for county clerk because there is no one running against the incumbent and I know personally that the incumbent is an bad person.

Maybe my vote made the difference and currie will quit his ad job to be county clerk.

So the presidential election has been decided but we still don't have a single vote released from Sedgwick County.  Lehman gotta go.

Is this a Billy Walker/Dustin Dodd(?) reference? Because I made it one in my head and smiled.

she finally released some of the numbers at 11PM, 4 hours after the polls closed but just said that they were the advanced ballots & didn't release what percent of the vote it was.  Also worth noting that Sedgwick County uses electronic ballots, frankly there was no credible reason for the delay.  The evisceration of Tabitha Lehman will undoubtedly be the story of the election in Wichita.


Fluoride is getting hammered with the early numbers

IIRC, he called him "Mr. Dow", which made it even better.

just last week I reread the article that pissed Bill off.  I'm guessing Bill was mad because he believes Dow fabricated some of that, if he did, he's lucky Bill didn't try to fight him.

goddamn tea party causing the name of my city to be further trashed

[Saulbadguy]

Why even put that up to vote? They should just add fluoride to the water.

yeah, no crap. do they have to vote to add chlorine to the city pool?

The tea party probably hasn't found out about that yet.

or to the drinking water for that matter

Surprisingly, the people that I've talked to today that were against fluoridation voted no because of the cost ~$2.1 million initially, and $300k annually.  I could care less (I grew up on naturally fluoridated water), but supposedly fluoridated water kills your pets and is made from toxic remnants of fertilizer production discharged from 0bama factories.

How does that affect the water rates? I'm guessing it comes out to a few cents per thousand gallons.

0bama

pffft

If there's one thing that I've learned about Wichitownians and their water rates, it's that you don't eff with their water rates (see Equus Beds vs. Cheney Resey vs. drought).

City council tried and were blocked by a couple of council members, the ballot provision was a compromise.  BTW this was the 4th time in the history of the city that a fluoride provision has failed.
