Indy Voters in the Democratic Primaries (Bruce Danielson)
There was a group discussion on Friday with some claiming the change in Democratic Party rules allowing NPA and IND voters was a good idea. I decided to pull up the 2017 statewide voter file and see for myself if my gut feelings were right.
I have never considered the experiment to allow independent voters a well thought out plan and the statewide numbers are proving it out.
This data is from the statewide late 2017 TotalVote file I am able to work with.
In 2012 IND and NPA voters were allowed to start voting in Democratic Primaries. The idea of allowing IND and NPA voters to have a voice in Dem Primary’s primary has been a failure. It has encouraged Dems to change their registration and still vote in primary. It is a loser’s mentality. A reason Mike Huether changed to IND?
The real proof of this being a bad decision is borne out in the 2016 election. As contentious as the primary was, it did not bring any additional voters to the process. I remember many voters being confused. A few asked me in 2016 if voting in the Facebook polls counted in the primary between Clinton and Sanders.
We can talk about this in more detail but the numbers show a time and election experiment failure. Instead of tearing the party structure apart, isn’t it time to actually build something?
Was the Downtown Parking Ramp just a ‘SHAM’ from the beginning?
I never did have a good feeling about the project and told several city councilors that the hotel will never be completed, then I hear this;
“The NMTC is a highly competitive economic development program, which incents private investments in the poorest rural and urban communities in America,†Rapoza said in a statement. “To receive NMTC allocation from the Department of Treasury and participate in the program, community development organizations demonstrate a record of financing dynamic projects that improve services such as health care, or create jobs and opportunity in communities where capital is difficult to obtain from conventional lenders.â€
Low paying hospitality jobs is hardly a good reason to give such a project tax incentives. This deal was doomed from the beginning and any city official/employee who supported this, worked on this or voted for this should be ashamed and should resign.
Off with their heads!
Over the last couple of weeks I have been enjoying the un-edited version of Inside Stormland. This week was priceless when Angela motioned ‘Off with their heads!’ Remember Angela, it’s just a flesh wound.
I would love to see some of the unedited tape from Bowlcut’s show.

Another shot of the Arc phase I being placed
Got to go into the Pavilion galleries for free on Saturday (the only time I go) the piece below was the best. The Pavilion also had a huge fail and instead of having their FREE concert outside on Main they moved it inside and hardly anyone attended. Apparently they wanted to celebrate 20 years but didn’t want any extra expense of having equipment outside. Lame.
There is a great view of the prison from the Levitt Stage. I wonder how many performers will ask about the castle on the hill?
