Too quiet on the election front

Here in the Huntington area we have two issues on the ballot, and the silence from those putting them on the ballot is surprising.

One is a $95-per-year fee to be assessed on all residences in the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District. The other is a property tax in the city of Huntington to pay for new street paving projects.

Lots of people are complaining about these issues, but no one has come forward in an organized effort to support either. No "Friends of Parks" or "Pave Streets Now" or anything like that. If either effort has support among any group of voters, I have yet to receive one letter. It's almost as if the two governing bodies put the issues on the ballot and cannot or will not do anything to support them.

WISECRACK of the Day:

From a mathematical standpoint, but not a political one, a negative add is still a minus.
