Let’s use the old TV Guide Cheers and Jeers method to start this off:
CHEERS: To all those candidates who were successful in their election or re-election bids on Saturday. The work for some starts tonight with Rick Shepherd sitting on his first Planning Board meeting in 20 years. Thank you all for raising your hand and being willing to sacrifice time at home with family and friends in order to make Abington a better place.
CHEERS: To everyone who ran and wasn’t successful. As a two-time loser I get the sting. But a healthy democracy allows voters to choose between candidates and we don’t have enough contested races. So please stay involved in some way.
JEERS: To most of the 90% of registered voters who didn’t vote. I’ll give some slack to those who had emergencies they couldn’t plan for, or transportation challenges. But having less than 900 people out of 10,000 registered voters come our to vote is really sad. Polls were open for 10 hours on Saturday. Absentee ballots were available days ahead of time. Even a 25% turnout would have been somewhat respectable. Bottom line: if you don’t participate, you can’t complain.
CHEERS: To Town Clerk Leanne Adams and all the poll workers who make voting in Town Elections such a smooth, easy process.
