David;

Thanks for the kind words. I just happened to be a bit surprised by the sign when I walked by the house this morning.

To her immense credit, Dona Stebbins entered the fray, answered my question and explained her position. This is the kind of electoral accountability we need in our local government.

All I did was sound off on an issue that irked me, as I am wont to do. The thanks really go to Dona Stebbins for making herself available to the people in Great Falls. Such action helps the legitimacy of this kind of a forum.
