The Voters Have Spoken!

The Voters Have Spoken! For those of us hoping for change it was a mixed bag. At the county executive and district attorney levels, people are content with what we already have -- or are at least comfortable enough with what we have to not risk things with new leaders. In Utica, however, the discomfort level motivated enough people to make a change. It will be interesting to see what happens next. The Oneida County Legislature will be getting some new blood, too, and that will be welcome. Hopefully new ideas and new attitudes will follow.

One thing about this election that I think we can agree upon: most races gave the public some real choices this time. The public is getting the government that it wants.

And that is a good thing.
