District 3 rundown

Here is the Tribune's take on Kavanaugh vs. Yarbrough in District 3. Clearly, Kavanaugh has the edge when it comes to experience and knowing people around that district. Those people down there love him.

However, I think Kavanaugh should be careful about using the secondary property tax to finance past bond debt. I have said it before, and I will say it again, I don't think that is a very popular idea. The bonds have been passed, and whether the property tax was implied or not, its not the right move. If Yarbrough were smart, he would be pounding away on that point every chance he gets. Talking about Kavanaugh's experience isn't helping his cause, he needs to light a fire these last few weeks if he wants to have a chance.
