Last-Minute Chance to Vote for your School Board Choices

There are about 2 hours left for you to register your preference for candidates running for three open seats on the Bridgewater-Raritan Board of Education.  If you think that this is just a humdrum election, don’t be misled. 

Peter Starrs will receive the unofficial tally at the Wade Bldg. tonight.
This is one of the toughest contests in years and, even though it’s approaching the level of a mini-slugfest, it is refreshing to see that this election is not uncontested.  The principal reason for that statement is that there are compelling issues that were held up for public examination by some of the sparring opponents which, without competition, would never have come to light in this election. 

More about that later.  More importantly, the polls are open until 9:00 PM this evening, so why don’t all y’all get out there and do your stuff for the Gipper.  He would want you to vote, no matter what your choices may be.

Official school budget information and candidates’ profiles may be seen here by clicking here.

The final tally will be tracked after the polls close at 9:00 PM in the conference room of the Wade Administration Building in Martinsville. Any and all citizens are welcome to come and observe the results as they come in.
