While I wasn't at last night's SB2 public hearing at the Community Center, today's
www.citizen.com has a good article about it. Apparently SB2 supporter, Richard Juve, and SB2 opponent, Selectman, big-bad, Bob Flanders, had opposing opinions.
That's interesting because in the last selectman's race that had two open seats, if I remember correctly, it was Miller Lovett 750 votes, Bob Flanders 650 votes, and Richard Juve 625 votes. If Juve had won, the 3-2 voting dynamics of the five member selectboard would be the flip-flopped the other way.
My cheap $15.00 msn-tv2 box never can make a working link so could someone please post a good direct link to today's Feb 12 Citizen story.
Apparently, I was all wrong about the SB2 vote being held on a paper ballot from 7-7am on Tuesday. This article in the newspaper says it is decided at the town meeting, late at night, and needs a 60% vote to get passed.
That will be almost impossible what with the local 'Meredith voting machine' being steered by 'Big Bad Bob' and his followers all going to town meeting. It looks like SB2 in Meredith is definately doomed.....rest in peace....SB2-Meredith!.....60%....wow....ho- buoy!
