  2. Too bad the actual results from this race are not on the web site they link to. 4,671 YES, 600 no. It's interesting how close that "no" number is to the number of votes winning candidates received in the local Christiansburg elections last time.

  3. This was simply a "no brainer." The May voter turnout was so poor that to even consider the thought of retaining it defies common sense.
