A hat-tip to the Board of Commissioners for directing that election signage be in English only. The last I looked this is the United States, an English-speaking nation. The "diversity" police would like to make a mockery of that fact, but most of us agree with the Board of Commissioners. So, I say thank you to the commissioners.
