Our town……….. Part VIII
Such a nice
place to live and raise a family
Hey, Huntington! What’s up with these
numbers? I guess we all forgot to
vote,
or, maybe, we just forgot where to vote,
or, just maybe, we felt our vote
wouldn’t
count, so we just stayed home married
to our “e-machines” and our "i-life”.
The politics of this Town have been
disgustingly corrupt
for decades
because folks just can’t seem to find
the time to exercise their
Constitutional
right to vote every November.

*Huntington Town

100% (178 of 178)
595 vote differential!!!!!
36,531
71,266 votes for
the Huntington Town Council seats is not a bad number (about 32% of registered
voters in the Town. If that number cast a vote for Town Council seats, what
were half of them thinking when it came time to use the felt marker for Town
Supervisor and Superintendent of Highways? And, who gives a crap about our
County Legislature? Come on, folks! If you care at all about where, how, and by
whom your tax dollars are being spent, you really need to pay attention. You
also need to follow through and fill in a complete ballot. Did anyone flip
their ballot over? If you did, you saw your chance to weigh in on proposals and
propositions that are going to cost you a lot more of what you already don’t
enjoy paying.
Please go back and take a look at the
vote differentials, and
then tell me your vote doesn’t count.
Wake up, Huntington
