I am very disturbed to read, yet again, that the city council voted down the flood control dis- trict "because the council mem- bers believed the citizens would not support a new tax." The volunteers of the flood control district put in their time and energy to line up grants that would have paid for the levee work.

"If you can't see well, you can't learn as well,"...
We bring you this editorial after the elections, but we wrote it before the results were in, on purpose. We wanted to make some points about this year's elections and elections in general - that aren't tied to the outcome, except for this: If your candidate(s) didn't win, well, such is the nature of democracy. There were more people who voted for the other can- didate and, despite the fact that there are isolated irregularities in every election, we can feel blessed we don't live in a country with such problems as widespread voter fraud,...
