Election Day

Not much going on here in Springfield a far as today's election goes. The biggest thing is the proposed merger of the Springfield and Sangamon County Health Departments. Actually, it would be an acquisition of the Springfield Health Dept. by its county counterpart.

There's been some debate over the matter but to be honest I don't care that much. Both sides (those for and those against the merger) have been throwing numbers out "proving" they will save the most money while providing the best service. I've looked and listened but I can't generate much enthusiasm one way or the other. In such a case, I usually go with the status quo. So my vote will be No on the merger.
