Take my town and county for example. Our mayor is a democrat and her two opponents are Independents and we know what that means. To her credit she has not raised our taxes but when she was a rep in the State House in Nashville there wasn't a tax increase she did not like. So I do not trust her. The mayor before her was a RINO. Her two opponents accuse each other of this or that
