Just came in the mail yesterday.
huh. I wonder when I'll get mine.
Is it later than usual?
No, I recall getting it usualy a week before, otherwise people will forget about them when they go in to vote. I personally think they should wait till Monday, so people have it fresh in their minds. Unfortunately, too many people don't educate themselves and will just vote yes for everything without understanding the ramifications.
I'm voting no to all.
As per a post on a previous topic, Ques #7 requests a $400,000 appropriation for CHS improvements, including BUT NOT LIMITED TO, boys locker room improvements, bleachers, etc. That clause makes me think it could be used for turf, thereby taking away the citizens' right to vote on that expenditure. So although the boys locker room desperately needs renovation, I'll vote no unless I get some guarantee on how the funds will be used. Vague wording on referenda helps no one.
The Dems are calling for approval of all. Ecke and Altieri the two big turf supporters are all for them. These people have lost all sense of reality. I can't trust any of these people as it seems that a lot of this money can be shifted around.
If you vote for these items, don't be surprised if the money is spent on something else.
Vote NO on all of them.
Florio said that the school items should not be put off. The school items seem like they are nothing more than voting for a slush fund to be used at the discretion of Florio. Does Florio live in Cheshire and pay taxes here?
No, Florio doesn't live or pay taxes in Cheshire. When given the job as super, the boe waived the requirement that he live in town. So what would he care on how much is spent?
Just got my referendum questions tonight. Seems later than usual. What's with this wording after each one - "this appropriation may be spent for..." Does it mean it "may not" be spent for that item? Don't like the way they're worded. I'm voting NO on all of them. We're in a recession - they all can wait.
Time to hire people that live in town, pay taxes in town and who care about the town.
We have too many out of towners and it makes no sense to give them cars or travel expenses. We should never waiver the requirement that people live in town. We need people who live here and who can be a real part of the community, not people that simply think of Cheshire as their personal ATM.
I guess the people that voted early saw the questions for the first time. It does not make sense. Hope they gave the questions some thought.
