The election results are in. Voters in Iredell County have decided that they want to attempt to compete with neighboring Mecklenburg County by spending as much money as quickly as they can.

Voters supported two massive bond issues -- over $60 million to spend on, well, whatever the government wants to spend it on. These same voters must have gotten a government-provided education, because none of them seem to understand that governments have to pay that money back -- and the ONLY way government gets money is by taking it from productive, working citizens.

This will likely cost an average household in Iredell county just over $1,000 a year in extra taxes. Thank you voters, mostly Republican. I SO wish there was a home for small government conservatives.
