I fear you're right in that they'll grant her the win. I thought it was bad when I moved back here decades ago and they were still arguing about "busing." But it's all been downhill since then. If I had the money, I'd move in a heartbeat. My dad, for whom I returned to help with his medical condition, is now long gone. Mom is in a memory home. My sis is dying to retire and move away from here. We both want to move to the Northwest. She may actually make it someday... two good salaries and still good skills... she's a teacher. They've actually been able to save some money towards retirement; something I was never really able to do. But day by day, we're more depressed living here. I worked at the Central Resource Library in Lenexa. I lived in Lenexa, but not the rich side of the city. More the apartments on the outskirts. We had United Way in each year for a money drive. It's amazing the number of people in JoCo who aren't rich, but who are all but invisible.
