Remember to Vote TWO Ballots in Amherst tomorrow:-)

Remember that in Amherst, you need *two* ballots tomorrow, don't forget in all the excitement! Sample Amherst ballots

How Alisa is voting on Tuesday November 4, 2008:

Aaron Hayden for Amherst Select Board


(and yes, Obama/Biden & all the incumbents)

Questions:

1. NO A No vote would make no change in state income tax laws

2. YES A Yes vote would replace the criminal penalties for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana with a new system of civil penalties

3. NO A No vote would make no change in the laws governing dog racing

4. NO so that the CPA tax is retained at 1.5%, not increased to 3%

5. YES for single payer health insurance and for not penalizing people for not buying crappy overpriced insurance (editorializing mine:-) (non-binding)

6. YES for pressuring us to do better with the greening of America, although I also understand this reason to vote No (non-binding)
