Take the Holiday Challenge

That one special day of the year that everyone is waiting for has nearly arrived. After months of painstaking preparations, holiday merrymakers everywhere are ready to celebrate boxing day -- when you can return all of the stupid stuff that Santa left under the tree for something good.

HaHa, j/k.

Of course, your LakeCountyEye is not referring to boxing day. No, your LakeCountyEye obviously refers to the final day for objections to be filed against candidates for 2023 election.

Normally that day would fall on Dec 26, erm, boxing day.

But since everyone was extra good this year, the deadline has been extended to Dec 28 for many school board contests:

The deadline to file objections to candidate filings for local school boards and the regional board of schools trustee positions has been extended to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 28.

A holiday tip from Old St Nick: Take the list and check it twice. Is someone on that list naughty?  Then by all means, load up your sleigh and fly that ballot objection straight down the chimney.  Ho Ho Ho!
