Vote!

I am thrilled to live in a country that affords me the privilege of self-government through elections; yet, I am exhausted with the political brouhaha that surrounds the presidential election. Nevertheless, we have another opportunity to influence our little corner of the world. There is a Town election coming up soon. We all need to be involved in our Town as well as our neighborhood. Get the facts at the Town website. And if you want to make it easy, you can apply for a ballot by mail by filling out the little green card that came in your water bill last month. In reality, our local elections more closely impact our daily lives than our national elections. I would love to see a high participation in this election by the people who live in Gilbert.
