2006: The Best and Worst ideas in Davis County

Best

• Running an campaign with no Special Interest money--This concept needs to be picked up by more candidates. What better way is there to keep special interest from influencing a candidates judgement than keeping money out of the equation?
• Citizen Bloggers that question the Candidates--Many have done this, but few have gone the extra mile that this anonymous individual has.
  
• Early Voting
• Blogging Politics--Special thanks goes to my guest bloggers: Natalie, and Allie for bailing me out while I was away.

Worst

• 37% tax hike--There are two reasons this is a bad idea. First, it was a lame-duck commission that passed it. Second, the tax increase, itself, could not be justified.
• Twenty-one(21) years of defrauding the School district--Need I say more?
  
• Running an campaign with no Special Interest money--It turns out that running without Special Interest money may not win elections in the real world.
• A poorly implemented online poll--The Clipper gets all the credit for this one.
• Hacking a "poorly implemented online poll"--I, and my anonymous adversaries, will take the credit.
• A NSL Name change--Can an idea that never came to fruition be a bad idea? Yes!

The jury is still out on whether a lawsuit against the school district was beneficial. I think the parents may have taken things too far with fake stories, and inflammatory comments, but it did shed some light on a government body that could do with some light.
