Seriously, things were a little tense for a while, but thankfully Ohio didn’t turn into another Florida. And my (admittedly little) respect for John Kerry has grown significantly considering the way he handled it. He could have contested Ohio if he really felt like it, but thankfully common sense got the better of him.
Local elections went well… Maury County overwhelmingly (87%) voted *not* to have a county sales tax. Who thought this would ever pass? Tennessee already has the highest sales tax in the nation, and they want to *increase* it? Riiiiight.
Speaking of taxes, Knoxville pulled a nasty little trick by allowing us to vote on whether or not we wanted a wheel tax. But if the wheel tax didn’t pass, they would increase property taxes. You just can’t win sometimes…
