Partisan Discourse in Madison County

Madison County Clerk, Mark Von Nida and Troy alderman, Allen Adomite, have joined forces and created a blog they named Partisan Discourse.  Von Nida is a democrat and Adomite is a republican.

Working together!  How cool is that?

According to the Collinsville Herald Journal, "their position on opposite ends of the liberal-conservative spectrum is serving as the jumping off point for a new online venture both hope will foster bipartisan spirit and spark discussions about policy and politics in the region. "We really want to take the politics out of policy," said Adomite, who with Von Nida earlier this month launched "Partisan Discourse," a blog the creators are optimistic will serve as a kind town square for observers and players of the Madison County political scene."

Taking politics out of policy in Madison County, long in coming, but very welcome and I anticipate looking in there everyday to see what these two have to say.
