An avid Fox News viewer, I remember late last summer foregoing my nightly news watch due to the ongoing campaign coverage; it seemed like the campaigning would never end.

With the presidential campaigning having begun 18 to 24 months in advance of the election, I was grateful when election day came around and campaign coverage ended.

Thank you for the insightful comments. We actually just attended a show at the Gallo Center for the Arts in Modesto, and were VERY impressed with how the downtown area looked - I actually commented to my husband that it must be a redevelopment area! All the naysayers need to get out and actually see what an RDA can do for a city, instead of just using gloom-and-doom scare tactics and stories. Lodi needs this - the east side needs this - my street that daily unravels more before my eyes needs this!
