SB2 is essential in Moultonborough, Tuesday, March 11th, Ballot Day
Editor, The Citizen:
Why is voting for SB2 essential in Moultonborough, Tuesday, March 11th, Ballot Day?
After the selectmen received the Recreation Strategic Planning Committee's "team" presentation on January 10, 2008, of the $10 million dollar Recreations Projects, the Selectmen had words of deep concern and financial woes. The Selectmen said although it was a good idea, it could and should wait a few years considering the federal, state, and local concerns for economic and financial distress that may affect us all.
State Representative Betsy Patten stated, "We need a reality check on what we can afford to pay for." Rep. Patten has shown deep concerns about how the state under financed the state Retirement Fund and the imminent forecast of Moultonborough becoming a new donor town again, but to the tune of $10-11 million dollars.
Selectman Ed Charest reminds us of a number of big ticket items we have to pay for in the very near future (Ossipee Mountain Road Reconstruction, newly designed Recycling Complex, and all the every day necessities — Police, Fire, Public Works, and expanding town government). The Selectmen after hearing this bleak financial future were 5 to zero against the town voting in favor of expending such large amounts of money at this time. Again, the Selectman chose 5 to 0 against expending any town funds for additional recreational projects this year.
Senate Bill 2 works like this: 1. It does not change town government. 2. (SB) It only changes when and how you vote. Under SB2 voter participation increases because you vote in the privacy of your booth and voting is an all day affair., 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. If, for any reason, you are unable to attend, absentee ballots are available to make your vote count. SB2 is all inclusive, allowing the disabled, the infirm, our proud military away from home, and retirees and others away from Moultonborough. All can vote by absentee ballot.
This ballot voting day of March 11, 2008, is a critical vote for all taxpayers and citizens in Moultonborough. At this time, if you vote for Senate Bill 2, you will maximize participation (your vote) in the true feelings of Moultonborough citizens on all fiscal and financial spending that special interest groups have supported, are supporting, and will continue to support until the Middle Class is forced out of our town — the town we love — Moultonborough, New Hampshire.
