Removed from last week’s election by more than a week we can sit with calmer heads and evaluate what went wrong with local elections and rededicate ourselves to restoring good governance to Adams County.  While the election results were far less than ideal, there is a glimmer of hope. The two races for Adams County [...]

Given the results of the election I was struggling to find an appropriate ‘Friday Funny’ to post – I think I found it.

It is rare I am at a loss for words but such is the case this morning.  Those tuning in here expecting to see a lengthy rant on the outcome of the election will be disappointed as I am struggling to reconcile it all. Nationally Americans have shown they prefer to go the way of [...]
