Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - Meredith SB-2 petition

It says that Meredith has approved SB-2 with a vote of 616-yes, and 456-no. That is all it says, and considering the source, NH's largest tv station, I am cautiously pessimistic and am waiting to see some more news on Meredith SB-2.

Is that the 60% that is needed? No, it is not! hmmmm

Could be WMUR got the numbers and just did not know about the 60% requirement?

Also, there were two SB-2 warrants, question #1 for the school district, and #7 for the town.

The Concord Monitor is reporting some slightly different numbers with 606-yes and 456-no, which would be 57.1% yes, and 42.9% no. Pretty decent numbers for a first try effort, but still not good enough to top the high hurdle of a 60%, super majority, that is required. Meredith has about 4700 voters out of a total population of 6000.

Will SB-2 be back next year? Time will tell, it always does. On next presidential election day, Tuesday November 4, at the Community Center voting place, will I be there in my olde rocking chair with another SB-2 petition for anyone who choses to sign?

Most likely!

And, the numbers for the school distict SB-2 are still pending, as it includes the three towns of Sandwich, Center Harbor and Meredith.

I want to thank this website, winnipesaukee.com, and Don the Webmaster for doing whatever it takes to keep this forum up & running. It always runs along very smoothly so there's got to be plenty work to make it what it is. Thanks again, Mr. Webmaster!
