The Kent County League of Women voters will hold the first ever candidate forum for Betterton Council and Mayor on Monday evening 7:00 PM, September 27th, 2010 at the Betterton Firehouse. Whether you are happy with town government or frustrated with it, this is your time to hear from the candidates as they vie for seats of leadership. Not a full time Betterton resident, doesn't make a difference , you should attend. Non voter residents can play a major role in promoting the candidate of their choice to those who can visit the ballot box. But supporting and or voting for a candidate requires a thorough understanding of what these candidates see as the future of the Jewel.. The B-blogger will be there listening, learning, and taking note of those who dare to care.
The best place to see how the Town of Betterton Goverment works is to attend the town meetings (2 meetings a month, 1-2 hours) There you can see and hear your government in action. You can get copies of the minutes but there is always a lot more information on the tape. The average attendance at the town meetings is 4, unless there is a issue that effects some residents on the agenda. If this is a sign of resident participation you should hold the forum on the ARK.
ReplyDeleteTom, The Ark isn't open for town meetings, but it will be at the
ReplyDeleteCommunity Center opening celebration on October 3rd,
Hope to see you there.
