My civic duty
"All politics is local." -- Tip O'Neill
We tend to think of politics in broad, national terms. Especially in a presidential election year, our focus is on the big picture -- the White House and Congress.
We tend to forget the huge impact local political issues can have on our lives.
This morning, on my way to work, I took the time to do my civic duty. I stopped at the high school and voted in the school board election.
No, I no longer have children in the public school system. But I support public school education, and I want to see my local school district thrive.
