Thank you, ma'am. I just have to agree with Council Member Calhoon that voter turnout trumps all of the other issues in my mind. And everyone I talked to too— as I was walking around town, I was asking people what do you think. I did have one person say don't do it but pretty much everybody else said they wanted them on the same day. Yeah, I've seen the pros and cons so anyone else?
