Merle, I just had to stop by and say THANK YOU FOR VOTING NO on this ridiculous museum tax.

It's nice to see someone actually stand up and do something right for the taxpayers.

I was resigned to the fact that this was going to pass, but I'm starting to change my mind. I've talked to too many people that are against it. Now they just have to get out and vote.

I will vote no on the tax and I will never vote for anyone who voted to put this on the ballot - I don't care what office they might be running for.
