5. Well this has convinced me now
We have a local property tax renewal vote coming up where the county is asking for more money for cops and prisons. I was leaning to vote no, and now I am definitely voting no.

Maybe if this tax fails the county will have to let out some non-violent drug offenders from prison. That would be a good thing.
