a little megathread for this seems useful. what's on your ballot folks? are you going out to vote today or have you already voted? if you haven't or are interested in what significant elections are taking place today, Bolts Magazine has its yearly cheat sheet.

Voted no on the tax for the "slush fund" as well. Hope it fails. Someone linked to a bunch of reporting about how we're already ignoring lots of federal funds for infrastructure that this new tax was supposed to fund.

    Was that that r/KC post? I probably would've voted Yes on it had I not seen that.

    So far, with 10% of the vote in, Question 1 isn't passing, 62% vs 38%. Results I'm watching.

    As an aside...Idk if you know, but there's a practically dead KC Lemmy community -- https://beehaw.org/c/kansascity@midwest.social -- that I'm trying to slowly revive. I don't even "own" the community, but it'd be neat to have a KC community out here. Feel free to join. Or if you know of another that's more active, do share!

    That was the one. Same reaction. I'm not usually against taxes but that post made a pretty compelling argument. Thank you for the Lemmy community recommendation. I'll join it though I'll admit I don't comment much.
