Amendment Showdown

We see you’ve made it through your near booklet of a sample ballot, filling in the bubbles for the best candidates (in black ink because apparently blue is just not acceptable) as we work our way through the endorsements of major political candidates. But you still have local races, judges to not reappoint (read: Charles T. Canady) and lots of amendments to bravely work your way through. Luckily, we’re not going to abandon you in the wake of a mind-numbing panic of legalese. Stay with us as we present you with your very own and possibly very first This-Looks-A-Lot-Like-Darts-&-Laurels-But-It’s-Really-Not edition of Amendment Showdown.

Wednesday’s story on the Alachua County School Board forum discussed charter schools. For clarification, charter schools are independent,  non-profit schools but are funded by the public.

Trick-or treating with the Avenue

We’re not in denial: We know we’re a little past our trick-or-treating prime. We know we can no longer strap on a pair of rabbit ears and faux-furball tail without being called a few choice words. We know we’re not getting any candy this year unless we march our non-bunny-costumed selves over to Walgreens (most likely on Nov. 1, when all that cavity-causing goodness goes on sale).
