I've never liked the concept of a mandate, regardless of how a position is won, because people interpret that as carte blanche permission to do whatever they want...

But I'm also still stuck in a world where elected reps are supposed to represent all constituents, not just their own voters.

I'm happy at least something is finally happening at Battle Creek. And hey - two fewer golf courses is a win by itself.

Currently most curious about how Rice Creek Commons / the former ammunition plant site will go.

I wish SubscribeStar had a free "just following" tier built in like Patreon does. I've been trying to follow people on multiple platforms where possible to avoid those sudden account issues
