On Tuesday

I have to vote for differing proposals for my area.

I must admit, I am confused.

Local politics are weird. I read the fiscal report and couldn't make heads or tails of it.

I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the only people in my area that even knew a fiscal report existed.

All politics are local, but damn, wading through the expenditures vs. revenue makes my eyeballs want to fall out.

If so, call his or her office and ask for the skinny.

As an aside, I was once unable to decide which Democratic primary candidate to vote for, so I called my state rep's office for advice because I had met him and liked him. In addition to repping my district, he was Speaker of the House. He's doing time now, which seems to be an occupational hazard for Mass Speaker. Still, his staffer gave me good advice.
