So here's the scoop on the "bond signature" battle. For $43 a year Valparaiso will be able to build a new police station. The police need a new station and the current location is really better used by the bank that exists on all the property surrounding it.

A bond battle is happening because Indiaan law allows 100 citizens to challenge any new bond by the city with their signatures. If they are shown to have 100 valid signatures, property owners in the city, then they force a referendum.

The auditor, a totally useless office that needs to be totally sacked, counted the signatures and declared that the drive would start in March and last 30 days.

So, come March 1st, it will be sales time. I miss sales time, this will be fun. I'm hoping for 4,000 signatures in favor on the bond!
