Power to the People
by Kathy McKinney
Ask Joyce Tarnow what she wants for Christmas this year, and her answer will be “being on the November 2008 ballot.” Ms. Tarnow is a Dixie County resident who is a passionate proponent of the Florida Hometown Democracy movement. She’s so passionate that she was once arrested in a South Florida Publix parking lot for getting signatures on petitions. Luckily, she’s had no problems with local stores like Foodland and Hitchcocks, who have been more congenial.
