RE: " I am SO disappointed in the voters." ...Me too, but it's pretty obvious that YOUR state is doing a MUCH better job than OURS. |
Not that much better, I don’t think, SeaDog. Our state is near bankruptcy - and the drug cartel is moving in rapidly - with nothing to stop them. Thousands of illegals are destroying our beautiful Sonoran Desert, and popping out babies and filling our ER’s with minor complaints. John Kyle is retiring, and we have (ugh) McCain. Our schools are over-run with non-English-speaking students. Unemployment has hit the roof. AZ home forclosure rate is one of the highest in the nation, and the property value has dropped considerably. Grocery prices appear to have doubled in the past year. Gas prices are almost as high as in your state. Property taxes remain as high (or even higher) than they were when property values were at their highest. “For Lease” signs are appearing everywhere, as small businesses are closing their doors every day in Sedona.
Yes - we are in a very sad state, here (as I know you are, too in CA. My son lives there and keeps me updated.)
You are so right - the 2012 elections are of MAJOR importance to us all!
