Katie: Okay, c’mon, sample ballot page eight: Propositions. Shall the state chapter be amended and ordinance adopted to fund a bond measure allocated for infrastructural repairs?

Katie: Fiscal impact: State costs of $8 billion over five years. Are you GETTING this?!

Katie: Oh, Jules, there’s just so much for you to remember! And we haven’t even looked at Justice appointments.
Father: Katie, honey, you’re being very silly. Jules is a turtle. / The polls close in an hour. At a dead sprint he’d barely make it to the kitchen.
