MEPD Ret

As pointed out, most of the people who vote "yes" are the very people who financially benefit and are Conway residents. The other reason for such a lopsided outcome is that many property owners are not full-time residents, so they can't vote. Finally, those who rent don't vote because they don't make the correlation between rent increases and higher property taxes.

It is true that in no other world could you obtain such a lucrative contract for such little productivity. Academia is the only profession that thinks this is normal and deserved.

It gets even better for them at the college/university level.
