Man, it’s good to be back. There’s no place like home, and after some time in the mid-state and some time in the Sports section, we’re glad to be back on A2.

(Side note: For those of you wondering, we have been everywhere from all-star baseball tournaments to SEC media days over the last couple of weeks. For those of you asking my bosses where I’ve been, thanks for reading. For those of you asking my bosses if I can stay wherever I was, well, thanks for reading.)

So, where were we? Oh yes, local politics, which look a lot like state politics, which all too often has mirrored the national political poison that has consumed our country.

And that’s sad. It’s also something I believe we can change.

To do that, we – all of us, Ds, Rs, Independents, dependents, people who wear pendants, you name it – must demand more from those seeking office.
