voting update

Town voting is next week around here, and we've already received a postcard exhorting us to VOTE YES ON ARTICLE 3 TO SUPPORT TEACHERS!

So I figured I should probably go figure out what the articles are, and then go vote to support teachers. Except that when I checked the town website (thanks for the handy email, town!), article 3 is actually about road improvements. (Also good!)

WHICH MEANS that probably the teacher-supporting article 3 is on the school ballot. That one is very mysterious to me, and also apparently the town, since there's no handy link to it anywhere that I've found.

But there's still time! And I guess there's always 'just read the articles when you get there,' but that seems inefficient when I could do it on company time reduce stress by being prepared. Also those little voting booths are so awkward and they make me nervous if I think about them too long, so I generally try to minimize my time there as much as possible.

Oh and also the greatest part of watching that town hall was that one candidate's platform -- and I am not kidding -- was that there wasn't enough football in high school. That's it. That was his platform. He wanted more football teams. Every other problem that goes on at large public high schools? Pah. Meaningless. More football, please.
