Did everyone showing up make any difference?


It did but it was very slight. It's a problem though, we want to keep taxes
low, but the county pop. grew 10% in the last 5 years and thus needs more
services (i.e. more teachers, more ambulances and EMTs on call, etc.). We've
had this discussion a time or two on this list.
