One Person Can Make a Difference

Ok - so most of you know I love politics! Well the City of Lawrenceburg wanted to change their charter so that the election of the mayor and council was at the same time as the Presidential election in order to save money. Well anything to save money is great but instead of this going into effect the next time we ELECT people - they wanted to extend their OWN term. This is a big no no in my book. Well all City Charter changes must pass both the House & Senate. These bills are typically put on the consent calendar were they are always approved. However, our Representative took the bill off consent and put in on the regular calendar - REQUIRING a vote on the bill. I am please that after contacting all 99 Representatives this happened. Hopefully now the bill is killed Thursday and the City will have to rethink what they want to do!! :)

I have also now finished all my homework - two finals to take next week and I'll have a MBA in Management!! :)
