Meredith SB-2 petition

Sorry, but don't think there's any absentee voting, as the system is now set up, but maybe I am incorrect? That is something that SB-2 would change.

As the system now is set up, Meredith has three different polls, held at seperate times and different venues. Meredith has about 4700 people who are eligible to vote out of a total population of about 6000, as the minimum age to vote is 21.

The vote at the school district meeting which was last Wednesday night, March 5, at the High School, where the vote was 150 YES, verses 20 NO , to approve the 18.4 million dollar, School Administrative Unit budget.

An all-day, 7am-7pm,, paper ballot vote, will be held on this Tuesday, March 11, that includes a number of warrants and ballots including the two SB-2 warrant questions for the town and the school district, a selectman's ballot with Chuck Palm vs. Jim Waldron, and other ballots such as the town clerk.

And, another vote is held at Town Meeting, on Wednesday night, March 12, that includes the rebuild-expansion of the fire station and a new fire truck.

What voting YES on the two SB-2 questions for town and school would do, is to change this scheme so there would just be one voting time and place for everything as opposed to three. It would be a private paper ballot in a voting booth, held on the second Tuesday in March, open from 7am to 7pm, and with absentee voters welcome.

Please vote yes to the two SB-2 questions, for town & school, at this Tuesday's, March 11, Community Center which will be open from 7am-7pm.

It will mean that in the future, a whole lot more Meredith residents will show up and vote.

After all, it's your money, or at least, it was your money! So, we can all say good-bye to our money together and hope for a little brighter future in Meredith with SB-2.

~thanks~
