7.75 = $42 million

Meddy Mart drama ensues. The petition failed. I'm not super surprised by that. After all, Zack Reed was in charge of it. I would have signed it, but I never had a chance to. I wonder how many other people have the same experience.

The Pee Dee does some math for us dumb Clevelanders who needed more convincing that this is the right move.

Somehow, I'm still not convinced that this Med Mart adds up.

Moxie -- Zach Reed was not "in charge" of the referendum petition effort; he was the spokesperson and one of several people who came together in an ad hoc, pure grass-roots effort to gather a large number of signatures in a very short amount of time. He does not deserve any blame for a "failure" of the petition drive. Indeed, if you'll pay attention in the coming weeks and months, you may realize that the petition drive was not a failure at all in the long run.

Fine, Rog, but I stand by my low estimations of Reed.

Hey, cheer up there, kiddo, you'll very likely get another chance to sign a similar petition soon, because your commissioners can do this to you three more times, in quarter-percent increments, without ever asking your permission.

Aww, gee thanks! People say you're a troublemaker, Mr. Ferris, but I think you're a real swell guy.
