Educate yourself about the budget. A recent find is that the employee insurance went up 4% and the budgeted increase is 7%. A perfect reason to vote NO!
ReplyDeleteWhere did this 'find' originate from?
DeleteOnly a 4% insurance increase...I wish mine ONLY went up 4%. I guess all of RSU21 should be counting their blessings since the increase is so minimal!
ReplyDeleteNot surprisingly, Arundel voted no on the budget, even though the increase was .69%
ReplyDeleteThe support for the budget in Kennebunk and Kennebunkport was pretty overwhelming, though.
What a shameful turnout for Arundel. Do we only show up to vote when it's for things like withdrawal?
Just shows that the majority of Arundel doesn't care about quality education and enjoy higher taxes.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, if the withdrawal goes through, they'll get what they enjoy, and then some.
DeleteIt peeves me to no end that there are more than a few hundred people living in Arundel, yet the vast majority of them pay no attention to what's going on, don't take the time to vote, and then either complain, or do nothing about it when their situation isn't what they want it to be.
What will it take to get people to Selectmen's and town hall meetings? What will it take to get *everyone* of voting age to show up and vote? Has anyone bothered asking those questions?
I am not satisfied with knowing that a few hundred people determine the futures of thousands.
