So here are the CHOTR opinion poll numbers to date (btw if you haven’t yet voted please go over to the sidebar and do so). Now what (if anything) can we take from the votes?

I found it very interesting that for the “What I would like to see more of in Congress Heights?” opinion poll that more community services lost out big time to new leadership. Who are these people and where have they been on Election Day?


In terms of the “Your wish for a big chain business in Congress Heights” opinion poll, I wasn’t surprised that Target was the most popular choice. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that a book store came in second...a distant second but a second nonetheless.

And the poll results so far...
