A Reminder

If you haven't already voted early or by mail, please stop by your polling place and vote today. There is only one choice to make, as the AZ Republic points out:

Today is the day Gilbert finds out who becomes the seventh member on Town Council.

Will it be Les Presmyk, who has spent two four-year terms on council, and has focused his platform on furthering Gilbert's economic development and beefing up public safety?

Or will it be challenger Dwayne Farnsworth, a lawyer making his first run for public office who has hinged his campaign on prioritizing road construction and wise spending.

And if you aren't sure where to go:

To find your polling place, call (480) 503-6871 or (602) 506-1511.

It seems like no big deal, until something comes along like the fire protection for county islands issue, or the referendum issues that some folks are pushing, or the bill on the governor's desk on HOAs. The town council members affect the daily lives of Gilbert residents more than any national politicians; it behooves us to be involved.
