Not really, like Redneck said its pretty much about even. Fact is, Ernie has done so much more for our county and area as a whole in his 4 years in office compared to what the democrats done in for however long they were in office. I am a current resident of Jefferson County and Ernie helps this county out just as much if not more than he has Johnson or any of the other 6 counties I listed. Things were picking up for District 12 and it was starting to develop into a pretty good economy, the schools were getting the technology they need and started rising to the top, and our roads were getting repaired and many new ones are currently being built. I'm afraid, like anyone else in those areas that have a general care for the region instead of elephants and donkeys, that the progress will start to slow and eventually cease to exist causing us once again to filter down to the bottom.

That sounds like Johnson Co has had a pretty good run lately and that's a good thing. Conversely there are plenty of other counties that need the same type of investment. Strange that you bring this stuff up because some of that money is what political pundits call Government Pork. I'm not one of those people but a lot of them are out there.
