　　３６、The following appeared in the editorial section of Monroetowns local newspaper.

　　Mayor Brown was recently re-elected by a clear majority of 52 percent of Monroetowns voters. Her re-election, however, does not show that most people in our town favored Mayor Browns proposal for tax reduction over that of her opponent, Mr. Greene, who proposed raising taxes to improve education. It has been shown that voters nationwide tend to re-elect people already in office, regardless of candidates proposals. In fact, a local survey after the election showed most people in Monroetown disagreed with Mayor Browns proposal. Clearly most people in Monroetown favor improving education and therefore approve of Mr. Greenes proposal despite the fact that they did not vote for him.
