On Wed, March 11 ARRG sponsored Meet the Candidates Night for the three open positions for Village Trustee. There are five people running for these positions.
The evening was in a Question and Answer format with each candidate given equal time to answer each question. Each candidate seemed sincere and thoughtful, with a true and honest desire to help the community, and a love for their village.
Topics discussed included
a) making the Village a walkable community
b) the Town & Village Master Plans and working together
c) communication with local businesses, Chamber of Commerce
d) speed limits
e) sidewalk repair
f) sign restrictions
There were only a few citizens in attendence, and most of them were town residents, not village. So what do we assume from this?
a) That nearly everyone in the Village is perfectly happy with the way everything is being taken care of? We suppose that could be a GOOD thing.
b) Or that no one cares? That would be a BAD thing.
Remember to get out and vote on Wed, March 18. If you are a village resident, and you don't vote...shame on you! Voting for local government is probably the most
important voting you can do.
We hope to have a video of the Candidates Night on our weblog soon, and/or www.aldenwatchdog.com
Just because you're in a booth, doesn't mean you should be voting in the dark.
It's important to know who you are voting for.
