Election Day 2020 will unfold with almost two-thirds of the vote cast four years ago already in the book.
No doubt the
pandemic drove people to vote early. My wife and I did so because of our fear
that we would be unexpectantly placed in isolation and unable to carry out our
duties.
And that is
what it is. A duty. If you are a member of a free society it is incumbent for
you to vote for the leaders of your
government. To pass is the same as saying you are totally abdicating control of
your life.
I’ll be
anxious to see the results, not only in the national races but also the ones
closer to home. I will be most interested in the so-called fair tax which would
---if approved---implement a graduated state income tax.
A
Bloomington Pantagraph poll over the weekend showed nearly 70-percent of those
Illinoisans asked, didn’t like the idea. I don’t either. It gives Springfield much
too much power…and doesn’t inspire the real solution to our state’s imminent
bankruptcy. You need to cut spending, which is something big government won’t
do unless they are forced.
We will
cover national, state and local races tonight on 104.9 FM starting at 7:00
o’clock. Jeff Vaughan will join me on the air and Derek Dunn will keep our
social media filled with up-to-date results as we get them.
There’s
still time for you to weigh in.
Vote.
Please.
