Amy Pike: Many unanswered questions on decision by Election Board Question of how much it will cost to appeal, who pays is raised. 'The initial $4,000 may not sound like an astounding amount but when you add the 'additional fees' it could become an astronomical amount that the taxpayers are liable for. Could this amount be $4,000, $40,000, or $400,000 once everything is completed and the court proceedings are finished?,' she writes, and adds: "It is easy to make a decision when it is not your personal money that is being spent to pay the charges. Click on headline for complete commentary By Amy Pike Personal commentary As many, including myself, have stated there are many unanswered questions about the decision made by the Election Board. Mr. Halsey made some excellent points in his commentary. It is my understanding that both Sheriff Moss and Clerk Greer declined to vote because of their candidacy in the November election. Personally, I do not see as to how that is an adequate reason considering that none of the county races were ever in dispute. To my knowledge, everyone was allowed to vote in the county races. The city races were the only ones with discrepancies where people who lived in the city were not allowed city ballots and some who live in the county were.

Peggy Fudge: Wants above-board elections re-established And asks what is being done to prepare for unexpected vacancies? Peggy Fudge writes: I have the same concerns as expressed by EW and Sally Kemp. I hope this will end in a fair resolution, with voting rights and legal, above-board elections re-established I am also wondering about the lack of a way to fill an unexpected vacancy, be it due to recent circumstances, death, resignation or alien abduction. Preparedness in all things is important for our civic security. --Peggy FudgeComments re article 74840 More questions about this afternoons Election Board meeting 2015-04-27 13:37:29 | Comments | Printable version
