Well, I voted NO, as I said I would. And the exit pollster outside told me at 1pm, the NOs were winning.
I did do it for the kids - they need less indoor structured time and more free play outside. Do that for your kids instead of making them mini adults with busy busy schedules.
I'm with you LH. I didn't get to talk to the exit pollster though. Everyone in line around me--and the place was packed!--was voting No. One couple wasn't sure how they were going to vote (???) but I suspect after hearing 20 people talk about the same issues, they were pretty convinced. Now we wait and see.
I was back there in the evening, cause I told husband I'd go talk to him to relieve the tedium of the line, and who did I see violating polling place policy? One of the candidates. yes, it was now 7pm, BUT there was still a huge line of people inside, and well out across the front of the school - all there before 7pm, so all able to vote. And this person was well within 100 feet of the polling place for several minutes, chatting up people in line.
Sorry hon - but it is not my job to pay for or help raise your kids. I raised mine without any help from you; perhaps you can show your children what "nature" is or how to swim in a lake - a much better experience than an over clorinated pool in a fully structured, imagination and creativity limiting day.
Sounds like you're doing it to the kids instead - I'd rather see free thinking, intelligent, imaginative, healthy kids who grew up outdoors than what I see all over the Evergreen area right now - kids who have no idea what to do if you send them outside.
That was the most unorganized, poorly planned, understaffed election process I have ever seen. Who had that Einstein moment which lead to the line starting in the middle of the gym and spiraling outward?
What a mess.
If this passes, should we expect this level of incompetency from the people running the district?
Let's hope people were smart enough to see through the deceptive and shady practices the proponents engaged in thoughout the last several months.
