Voting in May has a cost!

The towns Charter Commission which is mainly all members of the Alliance of Derry Taxpayers members as well, is proposing holding town elections in May. Thier reasoning is "warmer weather will bring more voters". Then off they go to the school board to try and persuade them to change the normal March elections to May so we can have one election. The school board basically tells them in a very nice way that they won't change the day because it does not make sense for them to make the change. So, the commission still keeps the May election day seperate from the school in the language they proposed ( which you can view for yourself on the towns web page www.derry.nh.us ) So if passed by the good people of Derry. We will have a March Election for school issues, then Town elections in May. The not so funny thing is that the Taxpayers of Derry will pay an extra $8000.00 a year for this arrangement. Kinda funny that members of the ADT whom are also commission members propose INCREASING TAXES!
