Vote Today!

Today is Referendum Day in the town of Salem, CT. This is the day that residents can vote to approve or disapprove of the budget for the town this coming year.

Traditionally, voter turnout for this vote has been poor. VERY poor, in fact. And when you realize that less than 1000 votes often decide whether the budge passes or not, it's a little scary. If you don't vote, it means you're letting the minority decide your taxes. Period.

That seems like a pretty bad decision to me. The poll is open at Salem Town Hall today from 6AM to 8PM, so take the few minutes out of your day at some point, and add your voice to the others who care what happens in town, and VOTE!
