The Wheel's Voters Guide
Election day is Tuesday, November 5, 2019. Early voting is underway. Two trustee positions for Richardson ISD's Board of Trustees are on the ballot. There are also ten state Constitutional amendments on the ballot.
Here are my recommendations for how to vote, not that anyone cares, and certainly not that it will matter in the vote count. But I needed to go through the process anyway to know how I should vote myself, so I might as well share my thinking.
Beginning in 2019, the Richardson ISD Board of Trustees has five single-member districts and two at-large positions. This November, Districts 2 and 4 are up for election. Note that I personally can vote only in District 2, but I studied District 4 also, as if I did have a vote because its outcome will affect my school district.
I attended multiple candidate forums, so you didn't have to (you're welcome). I also read candidate questionnaires. I also read pros and cons for the ten Constitutional amendments.

POTD: Kilauea, Goddess of Fire
 |
| From 2019 01 15 Hawaii |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from the rim of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano. There have been recent explosive eruptions here at the summit. There have been eruptions at vents on the side of the volcano. There have been lava flows all the way to the ocean. The landscape is always new, no matter how long or short your time away from Hawaii has been.
