All locals is political

We had local -- and a few state -- elections yesterday. I won't bore you with the details, but I am happy to say that the people of the Town of Dellona, which includes Jerry and our friends up on Christmas Mountain, finally "threw the bums out". For reasons that have never been completely clear to me, the town board has been making some incredibly bad decisions about things like the EMS service and street lights for intersections where lighting is badly needed. The people of the town had voted for specific changes and the board simply stonewalled and walked in circles, and now the new crew can get some things done that are long overdue.

Things in our little Town of Delton are in what Tom calls the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" state, and so we happily returned our incumbents to office. There were some changes in the Village of Lake Delton, not too surprising after the heated discussions about circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the Lake itself last June.

I'm happy to say that the supreme court election this time did not seem to draw any of the heavy out-of-state financial investment and political involvement that the last one did. There's a funny story about that last election, but a family blog is not the place to tell it.

And that's all there is to that.

On, Wisconsin!
