Well, I should be working right now. But I am not. I got a cold from some un-named person, and it is a miserable one. But I shall perservere.

On to a political type bit. I see a local businessman feels the Mayor should not vote on an issue relating to (brace yourself for the bad word) Casino's. Or, more politically correct, gaming. Because some of them supported her. Now does he also feel she should not vote on any issues relating to say lawyers? I think some of them supported her. How about construction work? I think one of her supporters has a lumber yard! Oh, the horror! Actually, a majority of the citizens of this town seem to have supported her, so should she recuse herself from every vote, so that the people that supported her do not have a voice in our community? Actually, wouldn't that make our entire body of elected officials pretty worthless? Yeah, maybe I am exagerating just a bit, but think about it. We elect these people, with the expectation they will do what is best for us, and then quibble about which issues they get to participate in? However the Mayor seems to have fought the Gaming Mafia and voted for what she believes, despite the risk of being blacklisted by the hordes of people who are clamoring at the doors of the gaming industry.

By the way, don't you just love those colored palm trees the Hi-Ho put up? Way better than the word CASINO!
