And I totally agree with you on that one... but from my experience, the ambiguously worded Warrant articles are generally those that there written by high-priced lawyers with little regard for the layman. It's almost like they don't WANT you to know what it is you're voting on. However, here in Alton it seems like it's always the same ten people who are "activists" in the town - you can pretty much tell who's going to be presenting something even before they speak!
Likewise, it's the same ten people who ask a lot of questions (God bless 'em!) and get to the root of what's really before the people to vote on.
Love my town~!
And thanks for not taking my initial post wrong - it can be a challenge to communicate in this format (non-verbal) and I didn't want to step on any toes...
