That isnt true. The schools and other things were added at the last minute well after many of the polls were taken. There is a lot of backlash being directed at Williams in particular in the handling of the whole affair which rightfully has pissed people off.

I saw the stuff about schools, etc. two years ago.

I think the full force of the horse industry certainly has to backlash at Williams, and should, and will, but among the non-horse people around here this morning, nobody much cares about it. It's a political football, as you described, it doesn't involve the non-horse public.
