« State to discuss Iway successes, problems | Today | Accident last night in Barrington » November 6, 2007Election day for several cities and townsA handful of elections and referenda are taking place across the state today. In the Chariho School district, voters will decide if they want to fund a $26 million plan to bring the main school campus into compliance with new fire and accessibility requirements and eliminate the $300,000-a-year trailers that the district has been using. In Jamestown, two Democrats and a Republican are vying for two spots on the School Committee. A first-time candidate, a 4-year incumbent and a 22-year veteran of the school system are competing. Three candidates for city council positions in Central Falls will move into their positions unopposed, and two people are vying for a seat on the council in Wards 5 and 3. Woonsocket Mayor Susan Menard is running for a seventh term, facing a nonpartisan election against retired police officer Todd Brien. In addition, fourteen candidates are competing for seven spots on the City Council. All but one of the current members are running for reelection. In Portsmouth, the Town Council vice president has been asking residents to approve a $4 million open space and recreation bond, and a $3 million bond for a wind tower. And in Scituate, voters will be asked whether to approve a $9.2-million bond for school renovations. For more information about local elections and referenda, visit the Secretary of State's Web site.

They laid me off. Oh well.

Of course, it would be nice if the SOS voter information center website was actually running on election day so one could find out where one should go to vote.
