January 19 2021 Let's hope we can return to an era when our political debate is more about policy than people This Wednesday, Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the United States. His inaugural address – given amid thousands of military personnel providing now-sadly needed security – is expected to focus on unity. At this point, days before the transition, does unity stand a chance? The fact that it's Joe Biden giving that speech is a disappointment to most voters in our community, as roughly 70% supported President Trump in November. It's likely, even after the events of Jan. 6, that if the vote was held today, Trump would still outpoll Joe Biden in the county. That's how entrenched we are in political lanes.
