What is wrong with government?

No common sense, that's what.

Obviously Tuesday was an election day, what I found the most interesting story of this election got no coverage.

In little Paddock Lake a few years ago a new ward was created in order to put the Union League Boys and Girls Camp ot the sewer service in the village of Paddock Lake.

In Tuesday's election there were two voters eligible to cast votes in this ward, both of them cast absentee ballots.

Local officials were curious as to whether or not they had to open the ward up for votes and sought an opinion the state elections board.

Their answer, you not only have to open the polling place but keep it open all day and staffed with at least 3 people.3 workers, 13 hours $10 an hour, that is $390 of mandatory government expense for the express purpose of no one to vote.

Now that is your government in action folks.
