Thanks to everyone who helped with my successful reelection.

Tonight at 7PM at the High School the town budget will be voted on along with a warrant article to rescind the water & sewer $12 million bond ($10 M. is unspent at this time)and a warrant to let voters vote on the issue of gay marriage.

On Friday night (same time & place) the school district will be voting on the school budget and it is clear that Dee Trybig and Kally Abrams will attempt to increase spending in order to avoid teacher layoffs (Dee is a part-time Bow teacher and sits on the Budget Committee).

With regard to the School District the moderator, Mr. Hatem, has gone on record as saying he saw no problems with last years show of hands, voice votes or having non-voting outsiders protesting inside the polling place (the HS auditorium).

The School Board had asked Mr. Hatem to reconsider but as of this date he has refused. This will undoubtdly lead to motions from the floor to over rule the moderator. I understand many if not all votes will be by secret ballot.

I hope to see all of you tonight and certainly on Friday night.

If you have any questions please let me know.
