I did learn something
from reading the right wing cheddarsphere….Kevin Binversie wrote a post defending the actions of of notorious balloon popper Ron Blair.

Abele refuses to sign County Board’s odd redistricting plan
It’s just too bad the County Board had the votes to override a veto, because I would have liked to have seen this plan scrapped. Abele had previously returned the preliminary plan unsigned. In his message to the board about the final plan, he wrote, “The intent of the process…
