Zusammenfassung:Over $3 million was reportedly spent on an election to put one candidate in the Texas House of Representatives, a job with a salary of $7,200 annually. The author don't know about you, but that math just does not add up. What she find most troubling is that her small rural district is relatively poor. She certain the money used for this election was not from this district. Libraries have an important place in the future of the US and the world. A library's impact stretches far beyond being the fact checker in continuous elections, but it is one of the critical services that people are already positioned to provide. As she enter her last days as TLA president, she is amazed at how fast the time has moved. It has been an amazing experience for which she will always be grateful.
