I'd never heard of that ballot toss before. I've probably had some tossed too, just can't remember for certain. Sometimes you just can't stomach either candidate.
I'd forgotten who was running against George. Turned out that Poshard was more conservative than Ryan, in the end. Old George spent money like it was growing on trees. After George Ryan's disgrace, in the next gubernatorial election the R candidate's name was Jim Ryan. Poor guy didn't have a chance with the surname Ryan.

My neighbor sold his property at a loss and moved to Texas over the "67%" tax increase. They came back for a visit, and his wife was in tears over the outcome. She said their expenses were actually higher in Texas when everything was considered. His income was lower, hours were longer, and she couldn't find a job in her field of work.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire, I guess. Good neighbors. Hated to see them go, and I wish it had turned out better for them.
