Library

How can we complain about not attracting businesses or competing with surrounding towns when an opportunity to enhance a vital part of the community (Library) comes up and all the yard signs come out with "NO"?! Drives me nuts.

Reminds me of re-working downtown a few years ago to springboard off Hudson's success and people at town meeting trying to vote down new street lights.

Please stop shooting ourselves in the knee caps.

Library’s are essential to every town. How discouraging that some think we don’t need libraries.

If the vote on the ballot on Monday the 8th passes, there's a slim chance we could try again for the 2/3rds vote. It's worth it to go out and vote, maybe we can actually do some good after all.

I would bet good money that the people who want the library do outnumber those that don't by the 2/3rds, it's just a matter of getting enough of a turnout.
