Somehow, they are able to bring Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives together in a patchwork quilt that is basically a ‘bedspread of success’.

The late evening of 06 Nov 2012, found our newly re-elected commissioner, Amy Lathen bolting right out of the starting gate blasting and criticizing the President of the United States – who happens to be a Democrat as is the Governor of the State. A state that now also has a Democratically controlled House and Senate.

It does make you wonder: “If somebody else has a bigger bat and all the balls and gloves, would it work well to learn how to play nice?” For the good of the community?
