DO YOU COUNT?

Some years ago a Preble resident came to a Town Board meeting and complained bitterly about something. The board listened attentively and made notes. After the man left one of the board members turned to another board member and asked. "Does he vote?" The other board member said, "No" and that was the last of that. The carefully taken notes were discarded and nothing was done about the man's complaint. He didn't vote and because of that he didn't count in the eyes of the board. You may not think that voting is important until you have a problem. If you don't vote then you won't count either. The choice is yours, you can help determine who your leaders will be or you can stay home and let others determine that for you. But if you stay home then you can't complain about what happens. Oh they'll listen to your complaint, but after you leave nothing will be done. It's your call.
