A blog from Bev

Welcome to November 2012, This is one of those months that make you realize you should have spent more time outside in the sun, instead of at your computer writing a blog,or sitting at some of the meetings we have all attended. Really, all that time was important. Just think of all the changes that have been made. I went back to read some of the things I had written or Bart wrote, like in March or April of last year.There has been alot of change, but in some ways, things are still the same! Monday night, at the selectmens meeting they went over the warrent for the special town meeting. When they got to the article we put in, asking for a investigation, no body, in the front of the room bat an eye. This is the time that will tell, if we can get this passed on town meeting floor.

Citizen Petition – Chapter 93 Acts of 2000

This is a repost of a blog that was posted a few days ago - I didn't want it to get lost in the archives because it is very very important. The Special Town Meeting is on Thursday November 15th 7:00PM at the NRMS Auditorium and the Citizens Petition asking for an investigation is Article 8.  See you there, Pauly

Pauly has tried to get an answer or an investigation into some of the activities in town for quite a while. The citizen’s petition asking for an investigation by the Attorney General has been turned into the town clerk’s office. We are waiting for the signatures to be certified. Hurricane Sandy isn’t helping out.

(Stay safe!)

One of the great concepts of town government is the citizens’ right to petition its town government. If you, as a citizen, feel something is wrong and is not being addressed by your BOS or other department, you can collect signatures of registered voters for warrant articles at town meetings and special town meetings. You, as a citizen, can even gather enough signatures to call for a special town meeting.

Survived Halloween. I ran out of candy! I never run out of candy. The weather was just right…much better than the snow last year! It’s a lot of fun to see the kids dressed up.

So, are you ready to participate? The election is Tuesday November, 6 2012. It looks like the weather will cooperate. I am ready to vote. I’ve looked over the ballot questions. I know which candidates I support and will vote for.

Please take time out to vote on Tuesday. I’ll be working on contact information if you need a ride to the polls.

The voting location has changed from the Narragansett Middle school gym to the Narragansett High school gym. I will check with the town clerk to see if there will be police officers to help direct traffic. In other countries, Election day is a holiday. Go figure!

Be inspired to participate!
