El Picador has made the rounds of the village, and is happy to report that numerous political signs referring to the bond election were again in evidence, including many of the previously 'disappeared" anti-tax ones. Pro and con seem about evenly split, if the number of signs is any indication.
And that is good. It is great to hear some real, down to earth debate around here, instead of the usual sanitized apathy. There are good arguments to be made for both sides, and open debate is the sound of freedom.
El Picador still has not been able to substantiate the rumor that the cops were called to arrest an anti-tax advocate, or that the village was responsible for confiscating their signs. But if true, not only were important rights violated---- the mayor has committed a huge political blunder as well. He does not seem to realize that many people see this election as not only about taxes and open space, but also as a referendum on his administration. What better way to bring out more "no" votes than this heavy-handed stunt?

I want to know who is paying for the Yes signs and who is paying for the No signs. There has been no news in the Journal about how many years the bond issue is for and how much it is going to cost people long term or what land is definitely going to be purchased with the money. Why no answers?
