Such as targeted mail to retirement centers or specific groups. You see the over 65 bunch doesn't have to worry about their taxes going up no matter how much taxing entities spend.

Are you suggesting voter fraud through the absentee ballot? <br /><br />There will be only a little over 1200 of these, Anon, and they can be easily checked.<br /><br />My guess, though, is that a clear winner will be found in either FBISD Trustee race, rendering an absentee vote verification process unnecessary. <br /><br />Man, that one really takes the cake.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691384412216558403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-76850364256920416722009-05-06T15:11:00.000-05:002009-05-06T15:11:00.000-05:00Old Sugar Land precincts are showing the highest r...Old Sugar Land precincts are showing the highest return rate on the abs. ballots.

You must remember what was going on in primaries this time last year and interest levels. This should be compared with a similar set of norms and not 2008. Besides, it is very hard to predict low turnout races and who is getting their base out, not to mention the day they closed several of the polls and the schools along with the problem you mentioned of the publics misunderstanding of the H1N1 virus.sink_emnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-12291206456659958212009-05-03T08:32:00.000-05:002009-05-03T08:32:00.000-05:00I just wonder why the director of the Houston Muse...I just wonder why the director of the Houston Museum of Science was originally scheduled to speak at last Mondays board session and then cancelled.
