I am hearing the exact same thing Lee.
I will have much more comment tomorrow, but at this late hour, I wish to make two points.
(1) I think that the Special Election sent two rather unmistakable messages, one to Lynne Ruda and another to Bill Schroeder. To Lynne Ruda, the message was that 54% of the voters, a decisive majority, rejects your bat**** crazy far left-wing and pro-developer agendas. To Bill Schroeder, the voters' message was simply "Stand in opposition to Ruda, by loudly standing-up for us."
(2) In my opinion, since there appears to be a tie vote, I must dully note that the two votes of my household apparently created some political chaos, kept Schroeder's campaign alive, and at least for now, seems to have deprived the purported Ruda candidate of a victory.
Just think of it Ruda people, two little votes from two rather tiny, common, ordinary people, "from the wrong side of the tracks" to boot, did all of that. Irritating, ain't it?
Nevertheless, take heart, because we all eventually learn that sometimes in life, we don't get our way, eh Mayor?
On a personal note, my wife and I dedicate our efforts yesterday to our very dear friend Tyler Sojka, whose strong, principled courage will undoubtedly pave the way for a much better Village of Lancaster. As Bogart said, "Here's looking at you kid."
