Worthy to Print Column | Sobering Statistics and a Shoutout

I don’t have to ask if it is over. I looked outside this morning and couldn’t see any signs asking you to vote for someone. The candidates have been very thoughtful about taking down the signs. It’s kind of funny because I can remember...
