You are on the Olympic fast track by the sounds of that.

Sigh...this Letter to the Editor mess isn't going away...more people coming out of the woodwork to bully me...which ironically is worse than any bullying they are accusing me of.

[BethAnne]

A Letter to the Editor that I published with the name withheld by request.

 

[BethAnne]

Their biggest complaint is that I won't tell them who wrote the letter so they can take legal action against the person (they can't there is no names of individuals printed) so they are threatening to sue me and shut down the paper to get the writer's name (they can't).

19 running for 8 positions. (also not sure I will check 8, I know 5 for sure) 14 running for 7 Public School Board positions (and I am at a bit of a loss there as well--though there are a couple of definite NO votes for me) I wil hold LAST whilst I meditate on election candidates

We just walked across the street to the school to vote. Mayor was easy. I chose 7 councillors and one trustee. Man that was a lot of names. Many of whom I haven't seen before the ballot.

How long was the ballot? The length of your arm?

 

[You just never know]

I voted too, but it was short and easy ballots.

How many candidates in your ward?

 

[You just never know]

5 running for councilor, 7 or 8 for Mayor and 2 for school board. There were 2 really good candidates for councilor so that one was a toughie to decide. Mayor and school board were easy as only one candidate in each that understand the "big picture."

This waiting for results (yes, I know the polls haven't closed yet) is not fun...I want to know NOW! And since our councillor got in by acclamation there is no drama here.

Freedom of the press. People are all for it when it benefits them, but as soon as it works against them, they suddenly ignore it.

Close. Probably a foot long or so.

You can vote for multiple councillors and school trustees? I can't even vote for both boards here which is silly IMO, either both are important and have an effect on me or neither do.
Looks like all incumbents here, frustrating after watching a recorded forum. Of the 5 incumbents it was pretty obvious that he had the least in terms of plans.
