VOTE NO TODAY!!! 12-9PM at Town Hall

We'll Today is the big day...the day we decide if we want to form a village which would absorb most of the territory of the present Town of Woodbury

I just went and voted at exactly noon, and i thought i was going to be the first person on line, turns out I waited outside on line almost to the old firehouse.

Regardless, it is good to see the people of this town are taking today’s vote very seriously and are participating in the democratic process.

This without a doubt is probably the most important decision facing this community since it was broken off from Monroe and formed in 1889.

While most in this community know Ralph Caruso (Chief Village Proponent)and I don’t see eye to eye on a great deal, today’s vote should not be a referendum on him, anyone on the yes side, or anyone on the no side.

Today’s vote is about our town and the direction we chose to go in to protect it and it's territory from encroachment by any neighboring town or village.

However, today’s vote should also not be just about KJ. Do not let fears of annexation or formation of little KJ's cloud your judgment.

I voted NO today, not because Ralph Caruso is on the yes side, or because of KJ. I voted NO, because I believe that Mr. Caruso and his committee failed miserably in any attempt to properly educate we the people of this community about today’s vote or the REAL impacts this village will have on our way of life and our cherished services.

I want more information. I don’t want smoke in mirrors rhetoric. I want real budget figures, taking ALL potential situations in to account. I want to know who will be in control of what, the town or the village.

We need a real serious discussion with some real experts on this matter. Voting NO today allows us more time to do that and to reconsider where we should go.

Decisions of this magnitude should not be made in the way we are being forced to do so, based on fear, emotion, prejudice, and misinformation.

Vote NO today...we still have time to make a properly informed decision at a later date
