Williston Tea Party
(Preview)
Sue, please help me understand what the local Tea Party represents because I'm completely and utterly confused. Is it no property taxes? Or no sales tax? And if the answer is "neither" then I guess I really know exactly what I'm dealing with.

If you were a NO, what would it take for you to become a YES!

Several people have suggested that an exit poll after last week's sales tax vote was completed, would have been in order. Obviously, that did not happen, but I think now is as good a time as any to re-visit and consider a new approach; both barrels (with civility of course), full bore, pedal to the met...

Did Williston suffer some kind of earthquake or something? I can't remember ever seeing the streets so torn up. This would appear to be a greater form of "heaving"....correct?
