Election Yesterday in the Ferguson-Florrisant School District

[Sherman A1]

Regarding a Tax Levy that would have raised property taxes some $11.00 per $100K the results were decided by 4555 people.

The last St. Louis County Report I can find (2010) finds roughly some 47K registered voters in the area.

I just think that's kinda sad....

2. I feel your pain. Went to my polling place a few months back for election of one

Community College Board member. There were six or seven poll workers and me. This was about 6 p.m. and I was the 30th voter of the entire day - the apathy is disgusting. ALL elections are important but too many people think they've done their civic duty if they show up every fourth year.
