vote, tucson

Tuesday is election day here in Tucson. If you’re like me, and own neither extensive holdings in auto dealerships nor land speculation, your vote on the propositions should be “NO.” Early polls suggest that the race is close; revealingly, those people who live closest to the proposed construction have expressed strong opposition, while the greatest support comes from those who live on the other side of town. Not in my backyard is right. But this is bigger: This is one non-solution to Tucson’s transportation problem that shouldn’t be in anybody’s yard.

Are you registered to vote? Good. Forgot where to go vote? find it Your vote matters.

  1. They moved my polling place, which I didn't discover until I went to vote after work. Sure, I ought to have found out ahead of time, but I wasn't the only one who didn't. While I was prowling around the church where our precinct normally votes, there were three or four other cars that drove by very slowly, looking for the signs pointing out the polling place. There were two small paper signs directing people to the (I presume consolidated) location were on the opposite side of the church from where the polling place normally is. Both my wife and I made it in time and voted "No," the position, which prevailed, fortunately. I loved the blaming and finger-pointing soundbites we got from the mayor on the late news!
