    I'm against privatization in any form, so I'm voting No on Q2. Charter schools might be working here because they're well looked after, but, in my opinion, it's for the good of everywhere that has corrupt, crappy charter schools sprouting up that we don't act as an example that they just plain work in general.

    Somehow... someway... Oklahoma voted to keep a provision of its Constitution that forbids the use of state money or property to directly or indirectly benefit religion. It was proposing to be removed because the state supreme court ordered a 10 Commandments statute be removed from capitol grounds.

    For the religious right who wanted their 10 commandments (and school vouchers for private schools), yes.

    I'm just surprised it didn't pass with as much bible belt of a state as we are.

    I think these might be useful links (hopefully they stay valid):
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1473996386
    https://faxzero.com/fax_senate.php
    https://www.usa.gov/state-governor
    https://openstates.org/find_your_legislator/

    Not strictly local, but senate/house is kind of local.

    Virginia's upcoming Governor's Race should be interesting, though! Primary is in June!
