Nonsense in a way
Blue sky with big puffy clouds. 51℉ and 30.2 in/hg. Getting to be consistent and I am happy about that.
The above picture is the current source of my angst concerning the American system of government. We tend to focus on the media-driven, corporate-centric clusterfuck at the apex of the structure but when you look at the base of the structure, it seems to be decaying away to nothing.
Five election contests, four of them single candidate.
One candidate for the Educational Service District, The ESD runs a $115,000,000 budget.
Two candidates for the Fire District. Budget = $94,000,000
Two candidates for School District, The school district makes you beg for a copy of the budget, I’ll have to get back to you on this. My guess that it is the biggest of the bunch.
So my best guess is that the three government entities together will administer around a half a billion bucks.
I am thinking that a lot of the funding comes from non-local state and federal sources.
I wonder if there were candidates who didn’t run who didn’t because they realized that the taps were being turned down?
