One bright spot in the election -- Jackson County voted down the library millage 57-43.  When I voted, I was the 87th and 72 of the previous ones were absentee ballots, which tells me homeowners are sick of having the government run to them with hands out.  It wasn't a question of whether the library need expansion, and some of the comments by the JDL directors show they're living in another world ("we should've got the word out!").
