Fingers crossed

Things aren't looking too good for the cityhood measure for El Dorado Hills Incorporation. As of 10:30 PM, with 23.88% of precincts reporting (5 of 21), the vote was at 39.8% for, 60.1% against. This isn't over, so I hope when I wake up tomorrow, the tables are turned. Cityhood isn't a cure all, and sometimes the wrong element sneaks in to run the show, but one thing is for certain, once you're incorporated, you can throw out the bums in office. One pissed off neighborhood can make a difference, one bad project, one bad ordinance, one bad meeting CAN cost a council member their seat. Not so with the Board of Supervisors of a county with many communities and cities. I hope they get cityhood in El Dorado Hills, otherwise Folsom might try to gobble them up. :)
