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.
What was the voter turn out for the elections. I heard that it was just about 22% which if that was the case, I wouldn't call it a good turn out as stated in the last sentence of the first paragraph.
