addison: Addison Election Results - Thoughts on the 2011 Races - 05/15/11 03:27 AM
Addison Election Results. Thoughts on the 2011 races.

Congratulations to the winners in the May 14th election in Addison, Texas. It felt like a very long campaign season.
It always amazes me how few of the eligible voters get out and exercise their right to vote. In a town of over 15,000, only about 10% voted. The mayoral race was decided by just 47 votes.
If you didn't vote, don't complain.
It's going to take more than "looking ahead together" to keep Addison the great city that it is.  "Looking" and "governing" are two entirely different activities. G-d bless Addison.

You know the next line, so sing along with me: {Bleeping} up the scenery, breaking my mind.*
Addison, Texas is overrun with political signs.  You can't drive down any street, turn any corner without seeing "vote for me" signs everywhere. But do these signs make a difference, or are they just eye pollution?

 
Take, for instance, these two signs in one yard in my neighborhood (photo, left).  There are two candidates running for one seat for Mayor of Addison. Does one sign represent the support of the husband, the other of the wife?  … (6 comments)

Ah, Addison! Not a city, but a "town." The Town of Addison. The best place to live and work in North Texas. There's something to be said about a place that doesn't take itself too seriously. Note the exclamation point in the town's name. Here you'll find the ruminations, rants and raves of one of the town's realtors and residents.
