Staying in town to vote

To the Editor: Meredith News March 05, 2009

I will vote in favor of SB2 for at least three reasons:

1. As the editorial of Feb. 19 indicates, SB2 allows for a more informed voter.

2.Only three towns out of 63 and no school districts out of 73 who have approved the

SB2 form of voting have gone back to the Town Meeting format.

3. On a very personal level - I had to make the choice not to travel out of state to see a personal friend receive an award. In an SB2 town the absentee ballot would have given me the opportunity to do my civic duty and honor my friend.
