The election is over; the voters have spoken. Now it is time for us to lay aside our differences and get to work. Campaigns are necessary but are distractions from working together.

I had started this column, including choosing the title from Ecclesiastes, before Biden chose to use the phrase in his call for unity in America. I decided to still write the column focusing on what we need to do at the local and state level. Just as the nation needs to heal, we need to heal and work together at the county and state level.

Maybe, but after what I've been reading and listening to from the "winning Party" I'm not sure if unity is something the Democrats are very interested in.

They are talking about enemies lists and revenge. I don't recall that from the Republicans when Obama won the election.

Even Dr. Synder was fairly clear about his intentions not less than several weeks ago.

I've heard of sore losers before, but never sore winners.

We'll see...
