You people don't think that McFall has improved elections in Volusia County in her first term in office? Maybe ya'll don't remember what it was like when Deanie Lowe was in office. Here's an old article from the Washington Post to refresh your memory:

As for the budget, do you really think that this year's budget should be less than it was four or more years ago in actual dollars, and you would get the same level of service? It hasn't gone up, when adjusted for inflation and compared to other county budget items; in fact, it's gone down this year because of McFall, and service has improved.

Oh, and someone said something about Orange County's cost per voter being lower? That's just plain false. Check it out yourself from the Orange and Volusia budgets posted online.
