I think the thing is there is nothing else on the ballot. The pro airport people are way more likely than the negative ones as I think the negative ones may not like it but get that the writing is on the wall.
but the old anti-tax anti-government crowd shows up for every election

Yes. You can take as many as you need. I took 5+ yesterday, going back next week for more.

Also on Twitter, Justin Meyer (Air Service Director at MCI) mentioned the CEO of Southwest will be in town on Friday. He wouldn't say why but I am thinking it could be related to the new terminal push.
