Why do I even bother voting?

For the most part I have stayed away from politics on this blog. I have strong opinions when it comes to politics but I decided to keep those opinions off this blog. Wednesday evening something happened that made me angry. Three and a half months after the voters of Lane County rejected a county wide income tax, Lane County commissioners in a 3-2 decision approved a county wide income tax. Now I understand that the financial situation of Lane County is not good but for three people to undo the will of thousands of voters in this county is ridiculous.
