Voting today "Election day was announced a the Annual Town Meeting and Deb B pleaded for write-in candidates for town meeting members."
Seems to have gone right over the heads of some of the people posting here ;-).
Voting today "If the town wants us to believe they don't know how to get the word out to its residents, that's BS."
What's BS is the idea that "the town wants us to believe they don't know how to get the word out". No one has suggested that "the town" wants an...

Kids Sleeping Bag or Pad? Do you have an old sleeping bag or pad that you might part with for a few bucks? We're going camping in a month and I want to run it by the corkboards before I head to the store.
I have an adult-size pad and 2 bags but want to put kids (7 and 4) ...

The internet isn't free, either (or do you pay nothing for your connection)? If you subscribe to The Recorder, you can read the entire paper online, and I expect you could tell them to take your paper copy and donate it to a school.

Voting today A) the paper isn't free
B) It is not emailed
C) it is not broken down very well into Catagories especially the front page
D) There is a lot more you have to scan through to get to the information you want
E) E mail doesn't pile up in the recyclin...

Voting today I did not notice anyone saying anything that warrants an apology to the town clerk. Nobody said the town or the town clerk did anything wrong. What I saw was suggestions that would make elections more noticeable to a very busy population.
Maybe to ...

Voting today This seems to be a very popular thread, and I hope this discussion results in more Corkboard "posters" voting in the future. Here is what a phone call to Town Hall and a brief website look-up yielded:
* Municipal elections are always on the third M...

Voting today If the town were to come into the 21 st century I'm sure they could find better ways to get the word out. Otherwise 9% voter turnout will be the norm. Maybe the town doesn't want too many people voting. in this electronic age better ways are there

Voting today patrick - I was ranting, and I may have exaggerated a bit, but basically, yes, I'd prefer that people who don't know what they're voting for not vote. I don't know that I "complained" about low turnout; if anything, I think I "lamented" it, but that'...

Voting today Signs are costly? the way the town pisses money away over the years I'm sure a few signs won't break the bank. Just don't put a lawn sign on the old Monty center school, the grass is getting too high to see it. Looking like a slum lord owns the joint

Voting today Signs work, but they're costly, you have to pay people to put them up and take them down, and they get vandalized or stolen. I'd be satisfied with posts on this site (far more trivial things than elections get posted here regularly) and an opt-in ema...

Voting today I strongly agree with the last post - and raised the issue at town hall yesterday. The town should shell out for at least 100 signs that can be put up the week before the election. Maybe this should not be necessary in the best of all possible worlds...
