The Only Casualty

War’s broken out in Raleigh.
 
The Republican County Commissioners launched a blitzkrieg, hiring a lobbyist (for $25,000) to get the Republican legislature to redraw the districts of the Democratic School Board members – then the Democratic School Board struck back (to keep their districts) by spending four times as much ($100,000) to hire their own lobbyist.
 
Politically, it’s an all-out war. But, so far, the only casualties are taxpayers.
