2012

No, the subject title isn’t referring to a future presidential election. No, it’s not about the London Olympics either.

2,012 is the staggering number of consecutive unanimous votes conducted by the all-Republican Delaware County Council since 2003, according to The Evening Bulletin.  This gang is to be congratulated for what must be one of the longest winning streaks in elected officialdom. In four years, with over $1 billion of tax revenue spent, not a single dissenting vote of conscience.

To steal a (rare) good one-liner from Senator Bob Casey, when five people agree 2012 consecutive times, four or them are clearly unnecessary.  Unfortunately, only three seats are open this fall, but I’ll take what I can get.
