Here are some rules to live by when it comes to politicians, ballot language and politics in

Year! We Ship Anywhere In The U.S.

Rule #1. In their ofﬁcial capacity, elected ofﬁcials are NOT our friends, they are OUR

Rule #2. Elected ofﬁcials will ALWAYS forget or IGNORE Rule #1 and tell us they are the

Boss. Don’t believe them.

Rule #3. Elected ofﬁcials love spending OUR tax money. They can always TAX us for

more if they run out.

Rule #4. Ballot language NEVER, EVER tells the voter what the REAL intent is.

75MG GENERIC • 90 COUNT

Rule #5. Town Charters are like the Constitution. They say how much power WE give to the

ofﬁcials. Ofﬁcials will always try to change charters and constitutions to give more power

to them and less to us, if we let them.

Rule #6. MOST IMPORTANT; even if you like the current administration, don’t forget that

ADMINISTRATIONS CHANGE. We must VOTE THE ISSUES and not the PEOPLE

when it comes to the town Charter. You may not like the next administration so much but

they will use the Charter as we vote, regardless.

BALLOT QUESTION #4…AUTHORIZING COMPENSTAION FOR ELECTED

Many are probably in favor of elected town ofﬁcials getting paid. But this language say’s,

“WE CAN PAY OURSELVES AS MUCH AS WE DECIDE AND THE TAX PAYERS

It can be argued that ORDINANCES require PUBLIC HEARINGS at which tax payers can

voice their dissent or approval. True only to the extent that there will be public hearings and

BALLOT QUESTION #5…PROHIBITING SWIMMING AT WINDING RIVER PARK.

AN ADVISORY REFERENDUM ONLY.

The town received a petition signed by more than 100 registered voters of Yankeetown. The

petition asked that a question be put on the ballot. The question; Should swimming be al-

lowed by ordinance at Winding River Park or not allowed by ordinance? The petition was

not a vote one way or the other but just asked that the question be put on the ballot for vote.

We are uncertain what ADVISORY REFERENDUM means. This is very odd language

ing to this language does not count. A YES vote would (or should) prohibit swimming at

since a vote of the people is THE VOTE of the people. ADVISORY was not part of the

language of the petition. It appears that Council is saying they will do what they please

THESE ISSUES WILL AFFECT QUALITY OF LIFE HERE FOR YEARS TO COME

regardless how the vote goes. In our opinion Council work for us and should do what we

DON’T LET YOUR NEIGHBOR VOTE FOR YOU. VOTE HOW YOU WILL…BUT

VOTE to do. But this language says they will do what they want regardless of the vote.
