The overwhelming amount of negative political ads on your TV, computer and phone needs to stop. Here is a possible solution for our soon-to-be reelected auditor, Greg Kimsey, to consider. When you vote early, a QR code can be sent to your phone. When you activate it, all annoying ads will be muted or deleted, thus saving an early failure of the mute button on your remote. In place of the negative ads, you can opt to see positive stories from local charities, Share House, St. Vincent de Paul and so many other programs in our city making a difference.
