As of now there isn’t a single prominent candidate to challenge Jill Underly, the latest in a long line of bureaucratic hacks to badly run state government’s most rotten agency.
What is concerning is the growing acceptance that facts do not matter as the lies and perceptions heard from candidates with the money to repeat them ad nauseam are more important. Lies and perceptions we should note, created by candidates who wish to play to the basest of human emotions.
Given the overwhelming evidence against Donald Trump as man and candidate, including his doleful record as president — praising dictators, big tax cut for the wealthy, separating children at the border — the true winner of the recent election was voter incompetence spurred by a flood of propaganda.
