I agree with you FLL. You get a lot more people voting and not just the special interests in a SB2 town than just town meeting. Some of the police, fire, teachers, etc. don't like it because they cannot sway the vote quiet as easily by packing the meetings. Hopefully the public will make a point to be more informed so they will know what they are voting for. Good luck, I hope you get it.
Someone brought to my attention a listing of the top schools and I was surprised that Gilford didn't rate that well. I thought Gilford spent a lot of money on their schools. Carpenter in Wolfeboro was number 8 I think and Tuftonboro was just a couple behind. I shouldn't quote numbers because I am not sure, but they were right up there.
