πΈ Minot history is undefeated.
Somebody got mad enough to make a giant sign.
Then somebody stole the sign.
So naturally...
They made another sign about the sign getting stolen.

Now that's commitment.
Most of us would've complained for a week and moved on.
Not this guy.
He doubled down.

The funny part?
Thirty years later we're still hearing about the legendary Good Ol' Boys Network.
You know the one.
Everybody knows a guy who knows a guy.
π
At this point it's basically Minot's version of Bloody Mary.
Say "Good Ol' Boys Network" three times and a half-cent sales tax appears to fund something nobody remembers asking for.

At some point you have to wonder...
Is the Good Ol' Boys Network really that powerful?
Or are the rest of us just terrible at showing up?
π
Roughly 5,000 people voted in the special election.
Minot has roughly 50,000 people.
So either:
β
The Good Ol' Boys Network is the most powerful organization in North Dakota...
OR
β
45,000 people are giving them way too much credit.

Maybe the real urban legend is that somebody else is going to fix it.

π³οΈ Tuesday is the day.
You don't need plywood.
You don't need paint.
You don't need a giant sign.
You just need 10 minutes.
Vote.
Then resume your regularly scheduled complaining.

π¨ One person can get the whole party shut down.
π Don't be that guy.
Nobody likes that guy.

Paid for by blood, sweat, tears, property taxes, sales taxes, permit fees, utility bills, and poor life decisions.
Just regular Minot people stuff.
