Pay Attention To Local Elections, Because Whoever Wins Can Make Your Life Miserable [More]
Too many don't. I'll bet over 95% of adults have never even been to a city council meeting, or know how to check their agenda and minutes online or find the municipal code. That's how Bloomberg gets mayors to join his coalition. That's what makes local mandarins think they can get away with introducing offensive ordinances and resolutions without public confrontation.
Even if we can't figure out where a local politician stands on certain issues, it doesn't take long to look them up online, see what we can figure out from their campaign and social media sites, including who supports them or who they support. Another trick is to search for their name in quotation marks, followed by the + symbol and the word "gun."
That and never vote for any control freak prohibitionist with a (D) after their name.
