Grand list growth?
When I voted in favor of this a few months ago, property taxes were not a factor for me since... we still don't know if this would be a net donor or net recipient of property taxes.

Most people in favor as you asked have only stated they want the shopping. They have no clue about "grand list" and "taxes". "Grand list" to them is their big shopping list and "Taxes" is what they pay on their purchases. I can't wait for responses.

anon - It sounds like you have a high opinion of them. I'm surprised you didn't refer to the good people of Cheshire as the unwashed masses.
I am sure that this is from a republican elected offical who feels that he knows better than the rest of us what we need. He may know what we need but we will not forget.
You said "When I voted in favor of this a few months ago, property taxes were not a factor for me since... we still don't know if this would be a net donor or net recipient of property taxes."
Well why the hell did you vote IN FAVOR of it then! Have you been deaf to residents outcry against the ever increasing tax burden? You lost 3 votes from my household.
4:57 those words are no different from what I spoke when I voted.
Feel free to give me a call, if you'd like to discuss.
You should drop the polls. This is not a valid poll. There are strict methods for polling.
First, you select the people randomly. You don't let the people to decide if they want to enter, this allows special interests to stack the results.
Second: You select a large of sample to give results within a statistically accurate percentage.
Third: You tell the recipients what the statistically accurate percentage is.
If you don't do it the right way, you are presenting garbage a accurate information and spread false information.
"If you don't do it the right way, you are presenting garbage a accurate information and spread false information."
Don't be silly. Everyone knows blog polls are skewed. On the other hand, they're fun, they get people thinking, and the results can at least be interesting. You'd be hard pressed to find someone that actually assumes a 20 participant poll on a local blog warrants any authority.
When it comes to blogs people usually post them to get a point across. That point is usually expressed in the question itself, not the results.
Hey: Mr Don't Be Silly
This a very serious issue that will change the character of Cheshire forever and you say don't be silly.
There are a lot of people who believe in polls, otherwise nobody would do them. This totally irresponsible. It is misleading. And, I doubt that the Cheshire Herald's poll on the support of this zone change is based on sound polling procedures.
