Meredith SB-2 petition

Gilford....hmmmm....that's really something. talking about Gilford....Gilford approved SB-2 in their first petitioned warrant in 2004, and as everyone knows, it takes a 60% super majority. I wonder how organized Gilford was in their 'get out the vote' effort?

I'll be very surprised if it passes in Meredith because the SB-2 supporters do not seem to be all that organized. I just do not know nuth'n! But, I think I can safely assume that the opposition will be better organized and vote on Tuesday night, March 11, at Town Meeting.

Heck, a bundle of kindling wood is better organized than us supporters! Hopefully, there will be enough SB-2 supporters who show up at town meeting and vote to be able to overcome the high hurdle of 60%. It wil not be easy! It will be a huge challenge! In order for SB-2 to meet the 60%, there needs to be some type of get-out-the-vote!

Something I did not know and just learned today by reading the Meredith News is that the Inter-Lakes SAU School District, SB-2 petition, that I submitted to the town clerk, puts SB-2 warrants (ballots) in the town meetings for Center Harbor, Sandwich, and Meredith, as these three towns comprise the Inter-Lakes SAU. How many people across the three towns have an interest in the SAU which I believe includes the Junior and Senior High School ? How big is this?

Back in December, I read Richard Juve's letter to the editor, Laconia Daily Sun, while eating breakfast at McDonald's, and then pursued my own two petitions at primary day, January 8. Like I said, it was the perfect spot!
