re: #574 Anymouse

Well, I can see the writing on the wall for my village board seat (only eight votes for Hillary Clinton in my precinct, which is basically my village). Ah well, a term and a half-term for a job that doesn’t pay anything was a pretty good run for a Democrat here. I don’t see me surviving an election challenge in 2018.

I did get a few progressive things accomplished with my GOP colleagues on the village board though (I’m particularly proud of the significant rise in village employee pay, and 25% increase in funding to the public library - I wonder how long those will last).

You should take pride that you made a difference in a positive way.
