Maybe it's time to take a lesson from Croydon.

Great points.
It took a
special town/school meeting in May, to overturn the March school district budget cuts (50 voter petition not 25 for special meeting).

But then traditional Town Meeting/School District Meeting had low attendance.

Same for MoBo, except when a Recreation Center shows up on the warrant.

The deliberative sessions for both aren't all that well attended - less than 100 in general - but during voting we'll see between 1300 and 2000 townsfolk casting votes. Are they informed when they cast their votes? Maybe.

But at least the Tuesday ballot voters should know what happened at the deliberative session and have around 30 days to find out more before having to vote. Not like traditional, forced to vote on what the boards say, or someone with an agenda at the mic and then required to vote.
I guess ... what is informed. Is reading the ballot with no prior knowledge good enough. The wording maybe?
