Aftermath

Well, Joe Henry didn't win. And didn't lose by just one vote either. Here are the vote totals:

THAYER SCHOOL BOARD
(ELECT TWO)
WENDY CARHART 192
JOE HENRY 181
JED UNDERWOOD 232
BILL HONEYCUTT 119
DOYLE D. FINK 187


Note that the media is ignoring the votes for John Galt, Howard Roark, and Dagny Taggart.

So we have re-elected one of the people responsible for raising our taxes to build a new Government Indoctrination Center/Temple To Socialism, and we have elected a career teacher (Gee, I wonder WHO she'll side with if she has to choose between teachers and taxpayers.) And there is STILL nobody whose primary allegiance is to the taxpayers on the school board.

Meanwhile, the voters of West Plains decided they wanted to pay more taxes, both on this issue and in their school issue, taking more money out of the hands of individuals and giving it to the government.

Socialism 2, Capitalism 0.


A little self-congratulatory update: Apparently, we have scooped all the local print media on these totals. The nearest online news I can find with this info is KY3, home of Tony Beason and Nid Rinnilds.
