As Jon Stewart quipped, “It is perhaps a sign of the strength of our republic that so few people feel the need to participate. That must be the reason.” For those who did vote, pat yourself on the back – you are unfortunately the exception that proves the rule of anemic local vote turnout.
But I get it. Election day was double-booked with the Cinco de Mayo parade and festivities! It was free comic book day! Actually, it was — don't tell me you skipped the polls AND didn't get a free comic book? Read on to learn what key decisions were made and how it will affect the future of Denton!
