Off topic but election related..
The locals are running around collecting their money for vote cash today..
Voters in Tag B are doing OK with a 4.500 Peso payout each from the 2 mayor candidates .. By the time the vice mayors and councilors weigh in should be close to a 6k windfall for most..
Not to bad for a family with 7 or 8 voters!!
