The pre-election saga continues as we look at the local races on next week’s ballot.
NAC’s pants-down editorial board still hasn’t been able to reach consensus on how many hallucinogenic drugs it would take to envision Sarah Palin in the Oval Office, so we're randomly tossing out these local contests for discussion.

Open thread: Elections for County Council (at-large) ... and is it relevant for us to know who the candidates support for President?
Open thread: Elections for County Commissioners.
Open thread: Elections for Floyd County Superior Court 2 & 3.
First up today are the remaining county offices, in no particular order: Treasurer, Recorder, Coroner and Surveyor. As before, the Tribune's hard work is more than sufficient to set the table. The newspaper’s questions and answers are extensive, and there’s much to be digested. To avoid the senior editor's initial confusion, know that the current Treasurer's running for Recorder, and the current Recorder is running for Treasurer.
That was easy, wasn't it? All I know for sure at this juncture is that I'll be voting for John Click for Coroner, because it's never a good idea to annoy the person who cares for your teeth, although I'm not sure how far the analogy should be extended ... nah, never mind.

RAB, check your "open seat" markers.
ReplyDeleteMr. Boofter (for surveyor) is a fine man. Mrs. Knable (for coroner)has a vision and she's not afraid to espouse it (I'm less concerned about your teeth than I am about my mother-in-law's dog's health).
Betty Buechler has impressed me with her campaign.
Mr. Gibson is a great person and has many years of surveying experience. He understands the ins and outs of plats, quarterlines, etc.
ReplyDeleteI had a difficult time with the coroner's race because they both have qualifications; however, Dr. John Click is a forensic odontologist which means his is like the guy on CSI that can tell that who a person was and some things about that person by looking at that person's teeth.
Also, Dr. Click teaches anatomy at Indiana University Southeast. Dr. Click is quite possibly the most qualified person to run for office this year and possibly in the past few election cycles.

EW, if you persist in addressing people by their last names sans civility, there will be sanctions.
