I've very active in town & school politics and spent several hours yesterday warming the sidewalk outside our polls to show my support for a warrant article that was near-n-dear to my heart. Voter turn out was good.

I wish voter turn out had been better at the town's deliberative sessions, tho - it was abysmal at the school's session which had about 40 people, including the school board, administrators, budget committee - people who were on the stage. The town's session wasn't much better.

I think if voters had been at the deliberative sessions to learn more about the warrant articles that were proposed that they would have been more informed as they walked in the voting booth. Some things failed that should not have, in my opinion. C'est la vie when you're an SB-2 town.

Maybe M'boro should count their blessings.
