The Last Vote
On March 8, Redondo Beach went to the polls. Among the various races and ballots is a hotly contested Mayoral race. The outgoing mayor, Greg Hill, was not running. Among the several candidates on the ballot were a one-issue candidate (Michael Gin, running solely on the issue of what to do with the closing plant), city councilman Gerard Bisignano, and Ellen Allen (whose primary notariety was proposing one of the two options placed on the ballot for the land vacated by the closing plant). None of the candidate received a 50% majority, so a run-off is inevitable.
Gerard Bisignano, the city councilman, goes to our church. Until today, I hadn't heard the election was as close as it was (last I heard, it was a .4% difference). As of today, after three re-counts, Gin is in first place, with Bisignano in second....by one vote. No, I didn't say 1% - I said 1 vote. Whoever said "my votes doesn't count" obviously has been paying attention to the Redondo Beach mayoral election.
Today, I heard an interesting story from Angela (Gerard's wife). They have had a stoneworker doing work on their house recently. The day of the election, things were looking pretty close and he said to Gerard & Angela, "I'm going to pray you win by exactly one vote." Later on, he told them "and that one vote is God's vote." Well, the results (as they stand today) tell the tale.

Cool story! My computer has been having big time problems so I have been off the BZ lifestyle. Hoping to be back in the near future.
My dad saw Hotel Rawanda and liked it. I still have to see it.
Stay cool.
